Well if anyone been following me and my drama with this damn car not starting heres your chance to laugh it up. Well I tested everything and could come up with NOTHING on why it wouldnt turn over. Well i finally said **** it and just happend to look at a ground wire covered in electrical tape that WASNT connected. The damn wire had come out of the terminal and I couldnt see it with untill I tugged on it. Well now its running. BUT............does anyone know why maybe my my cooling system isnt working. The car isnt getting over hot but I havent seen my fan kick on yet and its been running for about 10 minutes..well laugh it up guys lol

 

yep, you are an idiot.

let the car run for a little while, the fan should eventually kick on. it probably wont if it was just turned on 10 minutes ago.

 

its always something simple and right when ur about to say **** it.
check your fuses. i remember when my car was overheating it was my cooling fan fuse which is the fusebox under the hood.

 

if it took you that many checks to find the ground wire...

i'd get back to checking and rechecking again as you probably missed something to do with the cooling system also haha

 

your fan will eventually turn on let the car run....

 

hahahahahahahahaha

 

sometimes it might take a lot longer than 10 minuets for the fan to come on.

i'm outside for what seems like 30 mins before the fan comes on, especially when it's cold............

and don't worry about overlooking something so minor....... anyone that says they haven't done so is LYING! well, except for me.... i don't make such dumb mistakes

 

the only reason I didnt see the lose ground was cuase I put in an aftermarket cooling resovior for "bling" and the new bracket was blocking my view untill i moved the wire itself...next time im gonna let my hands do the checking and not my eyes.

you're in missouri? what's the temp like up there? here in tx, it's around 45-50 degrees. i wouldnt expect my fan to cut on for a while.

 

Tisk tisk... didn't I tell you to check all your wiring and ground wires? At least you found the problem.

Yeah have you ever heared the phrase "a watched pot will never boil" I thought the same thing when I was filling my cooling system after my swap sat and watched and watched and watched.... I went to the garage to get the coolant bottle and when I came back the fan was running. If your car isnt overheating then youre good
