alright, so this isnt really somthing critical, but its annoying me,
my thermo fan only comes on when i turn on AC on the climate control,
and that is how i stop my engine from overheating in traffic,
I am sure the engine is heating up, because the temperature gauge gets to about
just under halfway, then the overheat warning light comes up and starts beeping.
(the themostat keeps it from going below 1/4 once warmed up, is this normal, grandpas car sits at 1/2??)
and when i do the paperclip job and put computer into diagnostic, it switches the thermo fan on also.
anyone got any ideas on what the prob might be?
i just want to fix it because sometimes i turn the A/C off without thinking,
then at the lights when im not paying attention, either the warning light/tone comes on,
or steam comes out of the coolant filler cap,
just want it working like it should, not on ALL the time, because i dont even have a working A/C
thanksyou
