Engine Cooling problem
2000 Chrysler Sebring 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

the car continues to overheat, have replaced thermostat, water pump, radiator, radiator fan motor, and radiator cap. Have had it tested for blown head gasket and that's not the problem. Have checked the relay and seem fine. But the fan seems not to be working correctly. When the relays are out and you jumper the fan it comes on and runs. But the fan doesn't seem to come on and stay on when it should. When you turn the a/c shouldn't the fan come on and stay on? And it doesn't the fan cuts in and out, and the temperature gauage in at half way and the fan isn't running. Any ideas on what the problem could be? When you hot wire the fan to run all the time it has no problems.
