What can the problem be as my 1998 Lumina car is losing missing anti frezze. When I fill the radiator my heater is starting to give off heat.
At times their is a red light to goes on and off at the right side and bottom of the dash board.
I have no idea what this light is showing as to the missing anti frezze.

Most likely you have a small hole in the radiator somewhere. I have the same problem in my 1995 Lumina, and I have to replace approximately 1/2 gallon of antifreeze approximately every 6 weeks or so. This would be most noticeable when you see a puddle left underneath the car where the radiator sits. You want to find out what size the radiator is by using a tape measure across the top of the radiator. For the '95, there are 3 different core sizes, so I have to match mine to the correct size. Any time you see that Low Coolant light go on, you know that you need to refill your coolant. Wait until the engine has cooled off before refilling though.

Why is the fan on your 2000 jeep grand Cherokee not turning on the radiator?
Turn the AC on and the electric fan on the radiator should run.
Is the radiator fan electric and is it to run all the time on the 2005 cobalt?
Yes it is electric and no it's not supposed to run all the time, have the fan relay switch checked out, it probably needs replaced.
Is it normal for the engine cooling fan to run after the engine is shut down new fuel pump and radiator installed?
Yes it is normal if you have an electric fan. The fan will run until the engine temp lowers to normal.
Where is the sensor that turns the electric cooling fan on in a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport located?
The engine computer uses the engine coolant temperature sensor to decide when to run the electric radiator fan. It is located very near where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine.
Why does not radiator fan run when ac is of on an 2001 Ford crown Victoria p71?
Hard to understand your question! First, on the crowns with clutch fan and electric fan. When the a/c is off, just the clutch fan will run, if not then have it replaced, when the engine gets too hot then the electric fan will start, if not have the sensor replaced, or check the fan. When you put the a/c on, the electric fan will start, and the clutch fan will stop. Both are temp. sensitive. If the electric fan is always on, then the clutch fan will not turn. Have the sensor checked. I hope this covers your problem.
How do you flush a radiator on a 1996 Chevy Lumina?
Remove the bottom radiator hose on your 1996 Chevy Lumina radiator. Put a water hose in the top of the radiator. Allow the water hose to run until the water draining from the bottom of the radiator runs clear.
Does running your heater in your car use more gas?
No as the heater is run utilizing the fluid from your radiator and an electric fan. Using the air conditioning does as the pump is run from a belt on your engine.

Your radiator fan does not come on on a 1995 Pontiac Bonneville?
The radiator fan sensor switch or the radiator fan motor are at fault (maybe even both). Wire the fan motor direct to see if it will run, if it does, replace the sensor switch. If the fan motor doesn't run, replace the fan motor before you buy a new sensor. If after replacing the fan motor, the fan still doesn't run, then replace the sensor.

If front fan is now blowing on a Merceedes ML320 could it be the fan blower fuse?
Radiator Fan EnergizingIf by "front" fan you mean the radiator cooling fan, then the answer is NO, the fuse would not cause it to blow, other than it allows the fan to receive electric current from the battery, through the automatic fan control switch.The radiator electric cooling fan is controlled by a thermostatic switch [usually located in the coolant system] which is supposed to turn the fan on when the coolant temperature gets above a certain point.If that switch "sticks" in the closed position, then the fan will run all the time.Also, it is important to note that the fan will normally operate for a short time after the engine is shut off, until the radiator coolant cools down below the temperature programmed into the control switch.
Why is the radiator fan spinning slow?
Manual fan bolted to the water pump, the fan blade is bad. Electric is either the fan or the sensor that provides the ground. Run a good ground to the fan and if it speeds up it is the sensor. Many engines also use a fan clutch. This fan clutch can monitor the temp of the air passing through the radiator and adjust fan speed accordingly thus saving horse power, thus saving fuel.
