lost my cool

[markviiiEdrea]

my mark keeps heating up and i tracked it down to the electric fan not working , checked the fuse and it was not blown. any other ideas what to check? need to fix it as soonas posable

umm the fan motor! try hard wiring the fan to the battery and see if that turns it on. or check the fan with a test light.

I second, my fan motor died and the car kept getting really hot at lights.

P.S. 4U 2 NV, thats the funniest avatar Ive seen yet. :cheers:

Check the motor first or take it to a shop and have them use a scanner to turn on the fan with thee computer, either will point you towards your problem.

or you could .......hard wire it to the battery to test the fans motor.

thanks i like it too. but i cant take credit i stole it from some guy on LS1.com.

check the temp sensor switch that controls the fan (if there's any on you car)

[LSWon00]

its controlled by the coolant temp sensor thru the computer.
