Fan doesn't turn on when coolant temp gets high? Hardwire your fans to a switched ignition power source, or to the battery w/ a switch for now, and replace your coolant temp sensor switch located in the thermostat housing.... I guess you should check to see if it's plugged in first lol

Yes try and bleed the system first. The bleeder is a 12mm fitting at the upper hose connection. Do not hardwire anything!! Find the source of the problem....

Maybe, but if the fans aren't coming in, then he needs a new coolant temp sensor switch.

Unplug the fan switch (in the T-stat housing) & jumper it's wires with a paper clip. Key on, that SHOULD make the fans run. If so, the relays, fuses, wiring, & motors are all good. That leaves the switch being bad. If not, post back about checking the rest of that circuit.

well yeah, but I think it's usually the switch that goes bad. My friend had to replace the one that came w/ his 99 JDM B18C-R swap, replaced it w/ a M00gen fan switch.
