Hey first time posting, long time reader.

My son has a 95 eclipse with the 2.0L - 420a motor. It overheats at idle and we've noticed the electric fan is not working. We replaced fuses and put on a new radiator cap, so what should we look at next?

- Is there an in-line fuse somewhere?
- Temp sensor - if so where is it?
- Thermostat?

We live in Texas and the summer will be a scorcher, so we need to get ready.

Thanks,

i had this problem on my 81 VW. its probably a temp sensor on the radiator thats sole purpose is to turn on the fan. Look for loose connections

 

actually you know what. im not sure if thats right because my vw had no computers really....and everything was mechanical

 

I have herd of this before, check the thermo, they tend to wear like other car parts as well. Also check your fan relay.
