If you bypass a relay and the fan runs, it just means the fan and wiring is good. You may swap a "known good" relay in there to check and see if it makes it work properly. Some of the relays are identical. Thanks for watching
NOTE: Only check out the cooling system on a cooled engine, as personal injury could result from high water and steam contact. If steam did spew out, the engine is definitely overheated at that point as water turns to steam at 212 degrees. Any sustained operation above 212 degrees could cause serious engine damage which could cost $ thousands to overhaul. First, turn it off as soon as safely possible to stop further damage and then allow an hour or so for the engine to cool down. At this point, it could be as simple to fix as adding coolant (purified water, or water mixed with anti-freeze) or there could be other more serious causes of the overheating. Cooling systems generally will loose small amounts of coolant through evaporation over time, so regular checking of coolant levels is required (check once monthly or more often on a healthy system but check it every time it is started on a system that has been having problems.) Cooling fluid loss may also be caused by ruptured coolant hoses, faulty temperature sensors, radiator leaks, water pump failure, cooling fan failure, trash and debris build-up, drive belt breaking or slipping and other causes. It would be best to have an experienced mechanic to check the vehicle out if the problem is not resolved easily. Thanks for watching the video!
Love how thorough you are and how you gave shout outs to the guys you learned from . DIY for life baby!!
Thanks so much!!
Thank you good provided information 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Great video
Thanks! I really do appreciate the mention!
Where are Steps 2-5 ?
that's what I am wondering... can't seem to find the other 4 videos he says are after this.
So if it made the fan kick in does that mean the relay is good?

Do u have the car on when trying the switch
If it did spew steam, what would that mean?
