- Mon Mar 04, 2013 12:24 am #327650 i just changed out my coolant.

followed the steps in the owners manual

drain
put bleeder bolt + drain plug back in

fill up to filler neck

bleeder bolt (no bubbles came out BTW it was already a steady stream)

then I tightened that back in

started the car up for at least 30min and heres the problem

problem >>>> radiator fan never turned on not even once!

what should i look for ...i suppose fuse or something right?

// my car didn't over heat
// no other signs of over heating
// a little smoke came out the back but thats normal
// its sorta of cold here in SF i think 40-50 degrees idk if that matters

- Mon Mar 04, 2013 3:27 am #327665 Did the temp needle go past about 1/2 way? Did the car sit idling for 30 mins or did the motor see any RPM's?

If it is 40-50°F and the car is idling, the fan may not need to kick on. The ECU only kicks the fan on when needed.

- Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:22 am #327678 might want to check your temp sensor at the t stat as if the sensor fails, fan doesn't turn on as well. Or try jumping the fan to see if it work at all.
