My friend has a buick regal and she has had the radiator replaced around July 4, she is now having a problem that started just last week. The car is overheating after about 5 miles of driving. The temp guage goes to red and the temp light comes on. She pulls over and turns the car off but the fans don't run. All she can do is wait for it to cool off and then continue driving. it took her about 2-3 hours to go 20 miles. I looked the car over but can't seem to find an obvious problem. I switched out the 5 prong fuse. I then rearanged the other 4 4 prong fuses. Still no luck.
If she paid someone to replace her radiator she should take it back. There are temperature relays around the fan I believe and the fans are not working. These are right in the area of the radiator. Someone must have disconnected the fan or the relays were failing before the radiator was working. Either way, the car is not cooling and she sought a solution to that problem. She was charged and the problem is worse. Go back to the radiator place.
