The car is heating up rather quickly. I came down to conclusion that the fan is not running while the car is running. As soon as i turn the car off, the fan comes on. Checked the relay, it's not bad. Thermostat was replaced last year. Even switched those to make sure they weren't installed backwards. Any suggestions?
