because the car thinks it overheating so it shuts down to prevent damage to the motor
The Radiator fan relay has probably failed. It is bolted to the lower side support next to the radiator.
radiator fan relay has failed. It is found in the fuse box under the hood.
Yes, a faulty engine main relay can cause an engine to stall while driving. The main relay supplies power to essential components, including the fuel pump and ignition system. If the relay fails or has poor connections, it can interrupt the power supply, leading to engine stalling. It's important to diagnose the relay along with other potential issues if stalling occurs.
If you are talking about the radiator cooling fan it could be the fan fuse or the radiator fan relay needs to be replaced... the fan relay is VERY common for these vans. I have a 98 T&C and just had to replace the fan relay. The Rad Fan relay cost $40.00
a bad fan control relay
the salt in the water would have melted
Neither, as a thermostat would the most usefuly bit of machine to detect a rinse in radiator temperature and send electricity to the cooling fan
Open up the fuse box under your hood. Look up which relay it is in your owners manual. Pull the relay out with your fingers (if its to tight, i use channel locks). Put the new relay in.
main fuel relay going bad. Eventually car will cut off while driving.
I would say it is the radiator fan relay. This just happened to me on my Town & Country. This is a very common problem with these vans. The rad fan relay cost $40.00
A Volkswagen Jetta radiator fan is controlled by a fan relay. If the relay malfunctions the fan could either stay on or not work at all. An engine diagnostic would be recommended.
if a fuel pump relay is bad the fuel pump will not even come on. It could cause the vehicle to stall but I would look elsewhere first. Have a mechanic check the fuel pressure. You can check the relay by applying 12 volts to the coil side of the relay and that will cause the contacts to close and you can check voltage at the contact side of the relay. If your fuel pressure is fine I would check the ignition system. Are you getting fire to all your spark plugs. Is the check engine light on? The ignition control module can cause a stall when it get hot. More troubleshooting is needed to pin point the problem.. 1997 are prone to having a bad ignition switch. It can cause stalling, hard shifting, crazy dashlights, hard start, no start,
