Why does my fan turn on late?
Okay ive had this problem for quite some time now. I replaced the thermostat, thermo switch, radiator, fan, relay, and cap. All OE parts except radiator and fan. Also i bled the system numerous times and the fan still turns on late. I installed a temp gauge and the fan kicks on at 220. Anyone know why this is? Thanks

That's a weird problem.
Even with the fan off, it shouldn't get that warm this time of year. My fan hasn't turned on in a month or two, it even stays off at HPDE's until I park.
When does it heat up that much for you?

well ive had this problem since summer and it would usually happen when i was stuck in traffic or parked. No air passing through the radiator. Car is in storage now but the other day i started it up and let it sit for a while until it got hot again.

Got any more clues? Sounds like you changed the good stuff. Losing any coolant/boiling ever? When you're moving, the temp is always fine?
*shrug* Sounds like it would have to be as simple as the thermostat switch you already replaced.

Yep when im moving the temp is fine. Also if i turn on the heat the temp seems to go back to normal. Im not loosing any coolant, and coolant looks okay.
