WOW -- just aske my husband he said he didn't know. The car is my grandson's. He's going out now to put a "hot wire on it" to check it out. He's a truck driver so not here to check things all the time. Thank you so much for your Rapid responce. Hope you have a Happy New Year.

Doing that will only tell you if the fan motor is good which will help. But we still need to know if the fan is coming on when the engine is running hot.
