you need to find out if its the fans are bad or is the coolant temp censor bad or thermostat or if there is air in system
Answerone fan is intermittent and only comes on when the engine reaches ideal temperature. the other only comes on when you turn on the AC. check fuses.Answer
I had the same problem with my 1997 Mitsubishi ecplise. The shop tried to tell me that it is going to be alot of money to replace the temp sensor that is inside the head. We fixed it another way by wireing a switch to the sensor and we can turn the fans on when we need to, but it is just best to just keep them on when ever you turn your car on.
Find where the fluid is coming out and repair/replace it.
Bad thermostat, fans not working or coming on when they are supposed to, bad waterpump, bad radiator or radiator cap.
Thermostat is stuck.. Is the cooling fans coming on at 232 degrees? Is the radiator sludged up?
With the radiator full and the recovery tank 1/2 filled you will need to start the engine and when the temperature reaches 232 to 235 degrees the cooling fans should come on. If not then take it to a repair shop and have then diagnosis the problem.
If it has electric fans, make sure they are coming on when it get's hot. If not, then check the fuses and relays for them and power to the fans. Might just be a relay for the fans.
alot of the time when the censor for the cooling fan dont work,people will hook the fans up direct.Check to see if there are wires coming from the fan to the battery.I hope that helps.Fred
If your home radiator is leaking, it needs immediate repair.
disconnect the battery and then disconnect the wiring from the cooling fan. there are 4 screws( 8mm) that hold it on the radiator. be careful when removing it as not to damage the radiator. I found this information at www.autozone.com, under the repair info
