overheating problems

[dutchy14]

hi guys hoping someone can help…
just recently my vn started to heat up when driving mainly at traffic lights etc. Changed the temp sender and sensor, still heating up over half way and beyond. I checked to see if the fan was coming and it wasn't, i changed the fan over and still no luck. the fan doesn't run even when i have the a/c on which i thought was weird…

Electrical 101 check the fuse on the fan ..if that's ok and still overheating look at thermostat

also check the relays

if not joy with relays, unplug your fan and test it directly off the car battery to make sure it hasn't died. also sometimes the prongs on the fan plug dont make proper contact. might have to bend them a certain way to get them to connect properly. also have you got a multi meter? there handy and save alot of guessing...

turned out be the fuse! runs fine now although a bit noisy/whiney

but thanks for all your help!
