Engine Overheating... and... heater stops working.

So the obvious prob would be a lack of coolant... nope... I have tons of it
The overflow is almost full

and... there is coolant on the top of my rad... like its busting out of there

Any ideas what is wrong, could it be the thermostat?

 

it appears as though my fan is not coming on... I may have found the prob

Fan not coming on... Jumper the wires for your fan switch to see if that makes the fans run. If they run, bad fan switch. If they don't, look for fuses, relays, wiring, or a bad motor.

 

replace your thermostat too!

 

u might also want to check to see if ur radiator has a crack along the top near the neck, my radiator did that and sprayed coolant all over the engine bay, but it never overheated. just a possibility
