I replaced my old thermostat with a brand new oem one. When I had my old thermostat the heater was working fine. I made sure to plug everything back up. The reason I changed it was because my cluster said I was overheating and my fan was not turing on. Has anyone heard of this? Is it something to do witht the coolant? I searched a lot of topics but didn't find anything after replacing the thermostat on **** not working Thanks.

did you put it in backwards? (It has happened)

Did you make sure to fully bleed it and that there are not air pockets?

Did you get the right thermostant (OEM or correct temperature)?

An overheating car and a fan not turning on is usually an indication of a faulty fan relay switch, not a thermostat.

 

I changed the relay. It is in correctly. It must be the bleeding. Ill try it again

 

you didnt blow the head gasket did you and make sure there is no air pockets in the coolant lines
