yes. that will work. make sure your coolant reservoir is always at MAX line as well.

 

I am not sure about this burping that I am hearing about. How do I do this? Also on my 2006 there are 2 fans. When you stand in front of the car and look down the fan on the left is running but it doesn't seem fast enough. The fan on the right never comes on. Some told me that when you turn on the A/C the fan should come on. I not sure what fan should come on. Maybe I need to start with burping and if guys think something is wrong with the fans I guess I will take it in to the dealer.

Where is the fuse that for the fan and the relay? I will swap the relay or bypass it, maybe thats why the second fan is not work at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks
Tony

 

The plug to "burp" the coolant is on the back side of the motor toward the passenger side. It is black, on the top of the coolant hose with a philips head plug.

The fan fuses and relays are either in the small fuse block in front of the battery or the larger one behind the battery. I think they are behind the battery.

The fans have different speeds/settings based on temp and AC. Let your car idle until it gets hot and the fan(s) kick on and then turn on your AC to see if they go faster or more turn on.

I just made the drive over to LA in my car. The hot spots in the desert got to ~114, I was going anywhere from 85- very very fast (won't say speed..) with the A/C on med-high or high the whole way. My coolant gauge never moved and my oil temps never went above 220.

 

ttrank, tell me is there a place where it is written how to do the burp? I assume that the fan on the right when you are looking down should come on when the car get hot?

Thanks
Tony

 

Not sure what fan comes on. I have aftermarket fans that both come on together.

Wait for your car to cool way down. Open the plug and add water/coolant to the radiator until it comes out the hose. Re-install plug and radiator cap. Fill coolant overflow to full line.

Start car and turn heater on high temp and fans on medium or high. Let car heat up until the fans kick on.

See if the problem still exists. If so, repeat.

 

Thanks I will try tomorrow

 

Both fans should be running with the AC on. Both engage after 30-45 sec.


Tim, how do you have your fans wired and what kind of fans do you run?

 

The fans won't run while the car is at speed (35mph+). There's no need for them at that point.

 

I have flex-a-lite fans wired to both turn on when the first fan would turn on. So at temp or with the AC on they both turn on. With my IC, intakes and big @ss radiator on the back side the AC condensor gets hot hot hot. In fact my AC would be better off with even larger fans.

 

which Flex-a-lite fans? I'm running a dual Flex-a-lite fan setup. I have this:

curious to see what you're running. thanks.

 

Does anyone have information on what color wires to test with my volt meter when testing if the fan on the driver side aka a/c fan is getting signal or dc voltage . I want to say its my fan but I need to first verify that its getting power . thanks for any help.
