hey all. quick question for ya on my '85 1.9L (no resistor behind L. Headlight). I bled my coolant system today. Naturally, the air must be bled. I'm halfway there. The question is: at first, when she heated up, as I entered the coolant, the fan came on eventually. Then i bled the air the first time.....she got hot...I bled. No fan...neither stage. I got all the way up to near the top line on the heat gauge..blinking LED. Then shut her down. Bled again....lots of air.....still...no fan. Does air in the line affect the fan operation?....even when you've got almost...just about....all the air out of er'? My temp gauge has stabilized but I know I still have some air...I can hear it bubbling a bit still. Not too bad. But still....no fan. I don't understand that....I thought if that switch up front...which is new today and obviously worked once....I thought if when it got hot, it puts the fan on, air or not.. Apparently not. Is it the air in the line still? My front end is elevated and the relay for the fan is new too. So isn't the fuse. Only thing I've never done is the thermoswitch in the thermostat housing. I know the thermostat is opening eventually, because I have heat and steam at the bleeder valve on the radiator. TIA Dustin |
