Installed new radiator, thermostat & driver side radiator fan that was missing blades and car is still running hot. Also the new fan is not running after installation. Can you please give me any suggestions on what could be wrong?

Hello,

The inoperative fan might be the reason the engine is overheating.
You need to check the relay for the cooling fan.
That relay is located between the front grille and the radiator (see diagram).

You will also need to make sure you are getting power to the relay and the power to the fan connector.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
