got a question pertaining to this fan coming on. I installed this maybe 2 yrs ago, set it when it was supposed to come on. Havent driven the car for a pretty long time except for the past couple of days. Opened up the radiator cap today to check that my coolant level was still good, it had to get topped off. I topped it off and took it for a ride and noticed the temp gauge start to go to the very top of the normal range. The fan was set to kick on more towards the middle of the gauge. I open the hood and notice that the reservoir for the coolant is elevated from where it was before so it tells me the coolant definitely got pretty hot. Has any ever had their black magic fan just stop coming on? Its really cold out today so I cant stand working on the car outside, but all i could think of was the power wire for the fan that goes to the negative battery terminal is maybe corroded a lil? Lastly, think its airpockets from the coolant getting low that suddenly made the car get that hot? It didnt overheat but it was headed that way.
Ps. I know a lot of you hate this fan, but up until this, I never did have a problem with it. With a ron davis radiator it always seemed to do the job good enough.
