Engine Cooling problem

My dodge keeps over heating, I have replaced the cooling resivoir and the thermostat and the problem is still not fixed what else could be causing the problem or is there something that I have missed.

Check your fan motor operation. They should come on low speed at about 200, then go to high speed at about 210.

A quick way to check is to run the ac. The fans come on low speed when the compressor comes on, then go to high speed about 225psi high pressure.

The fan module is located between the fans on the bottom of the shroud assy. You have to reach it from under the car. It has been known to have connection problems at the main harness plug. A common failure is that the low speed fans come on, but the high speed doesn't work. The car will run for a while, then overheat because the high speed fan doesn;t come on.

Good luck!
