I jacked up the front end and opened the bleeder and fluid came right out. I had it up on a rack at a friends Amoco and noticed no leaks and both lines and the radiator were hot. I do have heat, so I know it's not a thermostat. But I did notice the radiator fan was not kicking in. The temp was up there, but still no fan. I jumped some wires on the fan and it does work. Either a relay or thermo-sensor switch on the bottom of the radiator is my guess.
Any suggestions?? -steve- |
