Hello,

This could be a problem with your vehicle's engine cooling fans. Can you please check two fuses for us, Fuse #12(10A) at the Fuse Block on the lower left side of the dash and Fuse #5(40A) at the Power Distribution Center on the left side of the engine compartment. Here is a link down below for you, if you are unfamiliar with how to check a fuse:

In the diagrams down below I have also included for you the wiring diagram for your vehicle's engine cooling fan system, as well as the Fuse Block and the Power Distribution Center diagrams and callouts for you to reference. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
