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.

The fan might spin slowly, or not at all. By not spinning at speed, the fan will not cool the radiator enough and the engine could overheat.

Why is your 1995 Lincoln Town Car overheating?

There are several possible causes. 1. Check the fan. When the car is overheating, if the fan is spinning slow that means the clutch is defective. 2. When overheating, touch the upper and lower radiator hose. If upper is cool, replace the thermostat. 3. when overheating, upper hose is hot but lower isn't. That means the radiator is clogged. 4. upper and lower hose are both cool, water pump is defective.

Your Toyota Previa 2.4 still overheats thermostat changed radiator ok water pump replaced what could be wrong?

If the radiator or reservoir cap is bad it could cause overheating because the system will not build up the proper pressure. Also the fan clutch could be worn out which would keep the fan from spinning fast enough to cool the radiator.
