I own a 2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4 Ambiente. The car drives like a dream. I however, discovered that my reservoir was slightly boiling. Keep in mind that the coolant level was quite low before the boiling. I filled her up and drove home, everything was fine. The next morning, I removed the reservoir cap and had the car idling for 20 minutes. The problem is that the radiator fan did not kick in. The water in the reservoir water was super-hot, I then dipped the throttle and the water started boiling over with the reservoir cap off.
Even until now, the fans do not kick in. So, I forced the fan on by putting my A/C on. The fan then kicked in. After I turn the A/C off, the fan runs for a little bit and then switches off.
My question, do I have a possible blown head gasket, and should I be looking at my coolant temperature sensor or relay/fuse in regard to my fan not kicking in when hot?
