Even if the fan is not working the car should still cool fine as long as it is moving. Have you tried driving it? |
How I tested the fan was by disconnecting the fan connector and taking 2 makeshift test wires off the battery to the fan. Both high and low settings work. I don't understand what your saying about the relays. Does the car need to be running to here them click? And yes when I bought it I drove a good 15 miles with no issues but had very little heat and the radiator hoses were ballooning up. So I wanted to replace the waterpump. And thats just what I did. Even still obviously no heat and still ballooning is happeneing bit I still haven't bleed the coolant properly just yet. Why, because no radiator fan and afraid of overheating.
