Buying a new car has been in the works but was not going to do it jut yet. In about 6-8 months i wanted to save up quite a bit then sell my car to buy me a terminator or coyote cash... I am selling the car because i have had the car for 7 years now and have had my fair of blood, sweat, and tears...

I am highly confident it is safe to say "low coolant level" is not the issue. I have decided to park the car and have put it up for sale for $7k with all mods and extras to go with it. In the mean time i will continue to try and diagnose the problem without investing much money into it as much...

As a matter of fact i am very familiar with the heater option. i have been doing that for a while now with my car over heating. i turned on the a/c last night just out of curiosity to see if the fan would spin faster, slower, or the same. My plan for today is to take my battery to get recharged...

I completely agree which is why i am trying to fix this issue ASAP! Unfortunately its the only car i have and with funds limited these days i do not have too many options other than trying to either come into work earlier or and leave earlier or come in later and leave later to avoid traffic.

My ground wire appears to be intact. I took my car to autozone and with the battery on the car it was reading 74%. They asked me to turn it on and told me the battery and alternator are working fine. I did check the fan once the car temp reached the middle and the fan does turn on on low but it...

Allowing a professional is an easier yet more costly way as well. I got married two weeks ago so i am still recovering from that so any and everything i can do myself i am trying to do. I consider myself to be pretty handy with my hands and only way i will learn is by putting forth the effort...

I do not have a volt-ohm meter and to be honest wouldn't know where to even start on how to use one. I have not had enough experience with testing electrical at all. Do you suggest testing the fan with the fan out or keeping the fan mounted and just unplugging the connector?

I do not know how to test voltages nor know how to run the fan direct to the battery. Those types of diagnostic procedures are out of my realm of knowledge but i am good at following directions.

This all started with the car overheating when the a/c was only then progressively got worse. When i replaced the fan it was because my cousin (who is a mechanic) came by and told me my fans were not working. Taking his word for it he ordered a new fan for me and i replaced it. During one of my...

I do refer to overheating when my needles moves anything pass at least the 3/4 area. However yes it has overheated to the point to where the needle was in the red and it boiled over and antifreeze was all on the floor. My battery terminals were getting loose so i did replace those the night...

I just received a call from the dealer and what they told me is that my fan is running too slow and the radiator is showing signs of rust due to lack of coolant (which I am sure is from the overheating). They recommend i change the radiator, upper and lower hoses, thermostat, and upper intake...

By no means am i trying to discredit your advice or input. At this point i will take any and all information since i have exhausted all the options i am aware of. My car is currently at the dealership. I decided to pay and have them check the car out and let me know exactly what my problem is. I...

I called the dealer to confirm if the fans were different or not and they are different. the mounting points are different and the fan i have mounted perfectly fine with my old fan so i am sure i have the right fan.

By no means am i an expert nor will act like i am one. I have however been told and read on multiple threads that the fan works on high with the a/c on since the a/c does force your engine more when its on. that being said it makes more sense to me that it works on high than low. as far as if i...

That is what i did a couple of weeks ago which is when i changed the CCRM. I had already replaced the fan so i knew that was new so my next option was to replace the CCRM which i did and since then the fan would turn on when turning the a/c but i have not checked like you said, when the...

I will check the ground straps but can you explain how that may affect the overheating? I have an off-road H-pipe so i do not have cats. The fans for sure work on high since they turn on as soon as I turn on the a/c but i cant say if it turns on low speed or not. The fan does spin freely, in the...

I am not sure of the temp of the thermostat nor the temp to trigger the fans. I have never adjusted the temp for the fans so I guess whatever stock is. For the thermostat I just purchased a basic replacement at the auto parts store. When I say overheating I mean anything and everything pass...

It all started with the car overheating. The original fan weas not turning on so I replaced it. Lasted a couple of days then started overheating again but only with the A/C on. if i turned the a/c off it was fine. That lasted a couple of weeks and then it started overheating when stuck in real...

2000 Mustang GT with an 03 Gt motor.....I am having annoying overheating issues. Currently I have new fan, water pump, thermostat, and CCRM and have taken it to get a radiator flush. I know my fans are turning on for sure. It is mainly overheating when I am stuck in traffic for a few minutes...
