    The plug,that the radiator fan attached to, had burnt a terminal. I replaced the fan assembly and repaired the other end of the plug. Ran for a week and crapped out again. So I'll be replacing both ends this time lol

SOURCE: overheating

1. start the engine and leave the radiator cap open.
2. put a cardboard cover or a rug in the front of you radiator.
3. let it runs 20 minutes or more, see if it is overheated and see the water or coolant in the radiator circulated or not. If not, as soon as you have already changed water pump. thermostate and check the hoses, no leak, I think your radiator was blocked.


Did you put stop leak before?

water pump could be bad again. if the seal is out lets air in around pump propeller and it won't move water and it over heats. its a lot of work but you can fix it your self

SOURCE: 1999 oldsmobile is overheating

If the previous suggestions don't help, you might want to check your coolant for bubbles; you could have a blown headgasket between the engine's water jacket and a cylinder. If the gasket fails this way, it will force hot gases into the coolant path that will cause this rapid and intense heating. The gasket does not have to be failed much to cause this and the early stages won't cause a cylinder to misfire but on cooling, the coolant can enter the cylinder and produce misfires for a few seconds when first started and this can show up as a fouling of one plug which can even show signs of rust if examined.
Also, check your oil dipstick for the color of your oil; it shouldn't look like Jergens lotion. At the same time, look into the coolant bottle to see what it looks like since a failed gasket can also cause oil to leak into the coolant.

Remove the cap from the coolant bottle and fill it all the way to the top. Then start the engine. Does the coolant shoot from the bottle?

Is their a relay for power windows on 2002 mustang cobra gt Passenger window works onceawhile switch does have power

-Yes it has a relay.
-But base on what you said seams like the switch is not working properly. or bad ground on the effect side.
-Here some basic to check:
-Check the power at the motor of the effect side. If power present there then check the ground side for continuity . If No continuity at all then need to redone ground.
-If there is power there and ground is good then check the motor
in " Ohm " and then check the good one to compare. If it's too high or too low then I will replace the motor.

Good luck

Cooling fan inop 1995 mustang gt 5.o

you can check the cooling fan by disconnecting the plug at the motor and run jumper wires from the battery directly to the fan motor it should run if its working if it doesn`t run then the cooling fan motor needs replacing. if it does run then check the plug for a bad connection. other things can cause this like the cooling fan relay, the coolant sensor that sends a signal for the computer to turn on the cooling fan by sending a signal to the relay.

My 2002 Mazda 626 is overheating! I have already put in a new radiator, a new thermostat, and replaced a hose that had 2 spring coils. Realized the radiator fan closet to the battery (that should go off...

Have you confirmed the water pump is working? If the car is moving at 10-20 MPH you should have enough air going across the radiator to prevent overheating in a moderate climate at this time of year.

Overheating and coolant leaking out coolant reservoir tank overflow hose.

You will need to check for the fan fuses to see if they are blown. If you have a blown fuse, the fan may need replacing. The Chevy's have a trend to blow a fuse when the fan goes bad. You can undo the wiring harness at the fan, and if you know how, run 2 wires from the battery to the fan motor harness (one positive and one negative) This will tell you the state of the fan motor. if it runs wired like this and runs quiet, it is good, you have a fuse and or a relay problem, look at the fuse cover for which relay is which and which fuse is which. Good hunting..

Why does my car keep overheating. I changred the thermostat and that wasn't the problem. The car isn't leaking. So can you tell me what the problem is?

Since you say you changed the thermostat, and that wasn't it then possibly the cooling fan is not functioning properly. Or bad water pump,inaccurate temperature gauge, radiator core blocked or restricted. These are just the most common reasons. Good Luck and I hope this helps a little

Radiator fan always on, won't turn off unless unplug battery

Hi!!

Either it is hot wired straight from the battery or the fan relay got stuck.

Locate Fan Relay in engine compartment fuse box and try switching it with another one of the same part no. If fan stops, replace Relay.

Don't forget to rate this post, Good Luck..
