My 1999 fireblade is over heatin i av wired the fan so it stays on but still overheatin the rad is coolin but the engine isnt any ideas could it be the thermostat and if so where is it lcated any in

The fans are run by rad temperature, not engine temp on a VW.Somewhere on the rad you should see a wire harness plugged into it.That is a thermo-switch which turns the fans on and off based on coolant temp in the rad. My car is a lot older than yours but this switch is virtually hidden on the bottom driver's side of the rad. It has 3 wires going into it.There could also be another sensor attached to the engine block or head to monitor engine compartment temps after engine shut off. This will turn the fans on or off as well based on air temp in the engine compartment.

would need head under bonnet to be sure but i suspect a water pump impeller is loose on the drive shaft they are a plasric impeller on a metal shaft and from your description it soulnds like this is the case

yes is the fuse box

Probably because the fan is bad. Does it blow right away or after a while? Get another fan, plug it in before replacing and see if it blow the fuse. If not, it's the fan. Or, simply unplug the fan and see if the fuse blows. This will eliminate a short in the wiring, etc.

Hello. First, it is probably that the clotch in the coolin fan isn't working. When the coolin fluid is warm, the temperatur put it in work, and the fan works rapidly, when the temperatur lows, the clotch loose the fan an is waiting the warm up again. But your Jimmy don't have the coolin fan in the principal belt, it have an electric coolin fan. In that case, your problen is for a low level of coolin water, or the relays of the electric fan don't work properly.
Finaly, my english isn't good, because I speak in spanish, but if my bad english solves your problem, i'm geting so well. I working every day in electronics cars, and that is the basic metod of analyse that I use.

The seized radiator fan has probably caused the current overload that blew the fuse and subsequently damaged the fan supply relay.
Repair or replace the seized fan if possible.
If not able to replace/repair immediatley, temporarily leave the fan disconnected, but be aware it may cause engine to overheat when vehicle in operation and will definitly need to be fixed before the vehicle is fully serviceable.

Replace the fuse and fan supply relay if faulty and repair/replace any burnt wiring.
I would not recommend re-arranging the wiring or fuses in any way - as that may cause further damage - especially if you don't know exactly what you are doing.

Most likely:
1. radiator fan not turning. Check cooling fan fuse. Check loose/disconnected electric cable at radiator fan. Fan may be burned out.
2. Turn ON engine with A/C OFF.
3. Turn ON A/C to see if radiator fan starts up. It is supposed to turn whenever the A/C is on.

Few other possibilities.

A 2.7 ENGINE CAN BE REMOVED FROM TOP OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT..REMOVE UPPER RAD SUPPORT,AND RAD FANS.REMOVE WIPER ARMS AND AND COWL COVERS AND WIPER LINKAGE AND CROSS BAR..USUALLY GIVES LOTS OF ROOM TO DISCONNECT ENGINE FROM TRANS..BELLHOUSING BOLTS ARE USUALLY REALLY TIGHT COMING OUT..ENGINE WILL CLEAR RAD QUITE NICELY..PUT A PIECE OF CARDBOARD BETWEEN RAD AND ENGINE SO PULLEY WILL NOT DAMAGE RAD..I HOPE THIS HELPS

The guage and fan speeds work on independant sensors. If you can remove the plastic engine cover and locate the "sending unit" for the gauge disconnect it and restart the engine. The gauge should remain cold and not move. If this is the case replace the sending unit. This should be a single wire sender located in the waterjacket of the intake manifold look in the area where the upper rad hose enters the intake.

no,not "into"red,but close to it. if it goes to red,you might have a failing thermostat. let me xplain. -a failing thermostat will either make your motor run too hot,or too cold,(the temp you see on your dash is for the motor)
NOW,you also have a temp sensor for the radiator fan,which is on the radiator.
SO,if the motor thermostat isnt opening,the rad' isnt getting the hot water(to cool off),in turn,the fan will come on later!!(hotter)
in conclusion,replace the engine thermostat,(it's cheap$$)
