Radiator Fans not working


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just replace the thermostat, now both fans are not working. I drove the car so the engine was hot, and had the A/C on max. Neither fans came on, even though the temp was at the 2nd hash mark (right before the red)

 

This is opn a 95 cutlass..

How can I test the fans?

 

Is it posibly the CTS?

 

Any help is appreciated!

Yes, I opened the bleeder screw on the thermostat. Had to do it 4, of 5 times until coolant came out.

I know that our cars run hot when idling, but the fans never come on.

 

Should I bleed it more?

If the system is bled properly, the car should run at the normal temperature while driving down the highway. I have my fan set up so that is comes on when you turn the key on, and mine always runs at about 180*. Idleing or driving down the highway. Hot Summer day or Deep freeze of winter, It is always at 180*. I would try bleeding it some more, and try using the screw by the water pump too.

 

Also, when the temp guage was reading that high, was there any heat??
