The fan in my car won't turn on for some reason and is causing my temp gauge to rise a little above half in traffic. Once I am moving it quickly cools down. I have replaced the thermo switch, fan relay, and tested the fan and everything is fine. What else could it be? Has anyone had any problems hooking it up for constant power? Please give me some advice the wheather is getting hotter!!

 

Did you check the fuse (under the hood)?

Simple things first..

 

first check the fans, to see if its even getting power and go from there

 

I checked the fan and it works fine, I checked the fuses and they are all good. I can't seem to narrow down what it is.
What is the best way to wire it to be on always and is there any downfall to this?

 

change your radiator cap. i jus did a thread kind of just like this and i just got a new cap and it stopped overheating!! try it, only cost me 8.61 at kragen. peace.

 

wire it to a switch

 

wire it directly using a 5 pin relay to run costantly instead of running it to a switch, to where it switches on when key is on

I did replace the cap too that was my first over heating problem....Do you guys have specs on the relays I need I think I saw a thread about this once before but I can't seem to find it now.
