My cooling fans are not turning on to high speed when engine is getting hot
You could have one motor that is getting bad in it. Next time this happens try unpluging one and see it the other speeds up. If it dont then try unplugging the other one and see if the other speeds up. You can check it out by letting the motor cool off and spinning the fan motor over by hand. If it make at least two or three turns by itself it is ok if not the it is bad. And will need to be replaced.
Alternator removal and replace
Take off serpentine belt
Unplug all wires from your alt. noting where they go (I usually draw a little diagram and label which goes where)
Unbolt from acc. bracket
Bring old one to parts store for core charge (if applicable)
Bolt new alt. on bracket
Plug wires back in
Put serpentine belt back on
My battery was boiling hot. Now car is dead.
Could be a couple of things:The first could just be your battery shorted out internally, which is the cheapest thing to repair, just get a new battery. The second would be the voltage regulator on your alternator went out letting too much juice into the battery, this would require getting both the battery and alternator replaced.If you can get it running long enough to get it to a auto parts store, they have a way to test both the battery and alternator.
