i noticed my radiator fan isn't working i checked all the fuses and nothing is burnt

 

Try hot wiring the radiator fan directly to the battery and see if the fan comes on or not.

 

how do i do that?

 

unclip the fan, and either cut the clip off, or touch 1 wire to each pin in the clip coming off the fan motor and touch one wire to the pos. batt and 1 to the neg. batt.post. if it comes on there is a problem in your wiring, fusebox or fan switch. you can just wire it straight to your ignition or your battery with a switch.

 

did you plug it in after your swap?

 

yes i plugged it in after my swap

 

the fan will not come on right away

 

the car ran for like 5 mins, still no fan

 

it doesnt come on until it needs too, as in when the coolant is going throught the radiator and still not getting cool cause your not moving

 

mayb thats why, because i just tried to hot wire the fan and its working fine. ill get back to you guys on this one tomorrow, when i run my car

 

its probably just fine, just watch your temp guage and make sure you get all the air out of the system...

 

ok thanks for help

 

yeah i wired a switch to my driver's side on my console, and i just turn it on when my engine's warm, kinda pointless unless im driving long-distance or its hot out, but it looks cool 5 bucks from radio shack has a red led light and a red cover

 

its extremly pointless considering thats what it does normally... and when you forget and your engine overheats

do you have it right next to your 5 inch tach on your dash?

 

it only works when it has too. if you really wanna hear it turn on, let your car sit and idle for 30 minutes and the fan will turn on

Thank you......

 

mine wouldn't turn on no matter how long i let it run or how far i drove and it was the only practical idea at the time, and now its not next to my tach its next to my leg.
