It is normal for a radiator fan to run for 10 minutes or so after the car is off, especially if it's hot outside. It's just trying to cool things down. If it doesn't stop running, then there is most likely a relay problem somewhere. I'm sorry I can't say exactly which one. I think that I've experienced the same problem a few years back. Drove a fair distance and when I shut my Neon off the fan continued to run. I had to leave my vehicle with the fan running hoping that it would stop after things cooled down. When I came back, it was to a dead battery. This problem continued throughout the week. In the end I did change out one of the large black relay fuses under the hood and that solved the problem for me.

How do you replace the radiator on a 1995 Lincoln Continental?

The vehicle has to be off the ground preferably on a lift I used two pieces of wire under the hood to hold the radiator in place so it would not drop down suddenly. There is a metal bracket running the length of the bottom of the radiator which actually holds it in place. I can't explain where to begin but your radiator is removed from the bottom of the car. Hope this helps

If radiator fluid is drawn into radiator after 10 minutes of vehicle running is thermostat working?

Yes your thermostat is working if it is drawing coolant after about ten minutes. It depends on the size of your motor to determine how long it should take to hit the right temp for the thermostat to open up so it can send coolant through the system. If it starts within ten minutes your thermostat is working fine


Should the car be running to flush the radiator?

Just flushing the radiator, no but to flush the system, yes.


What make your car run hot?

All sorts of thing can.. Low oil, low coolant, blocked radiator, stuck thermostat, running too lean on fuel... If it just suddenly started to do it and the levels are ok then check the thermostat.
