Why will the radiator fan on your 1999 jgc not come on when you start your car but works when you run hot cable direct?

A radiator fan is designed to operate only when the coolant is very hot, and the motor is in danger of overheating. You do not have a problem unless the motor overheats after sitting still idling for prolonged periods of time.


Why does your jag 1978 xj6 overheat excessively over very short distances?

Quick overheating is very often a bad head gasket. With it cold, take the radiator cap off, make sure it is full and with the cap off start the car. If it is a head gasket, water should shoot out of the radiator a couple of feet high. Simpler reasons, clogged radiator, stuck thermostat, bad water pump, bad radiator cap.
