Cooling fan problems (again)

[David Nichols <David.Nichols@andataco.com>]

Tim,
I also had this problem and it was not good news. I overheated once because of
a leaking waterpump. It warped the head. We did a head gasket and milled the
head and found out after we put it back together that the block was cracked. I
don't know if this was a unique situation or if it is a problem for All Rocco's.

Well after I replaced my cooling fan thermoswitch, I thought my
fan problems were solved.  After going for a quick highway test
drive and returning, I left the car idling until the temp needle swung
to the 3/4 position, at which point the fan came on.  Woohoo,
problem solved.  Or so I thought...

Over the last week my car has overheated 3 times, and every time I
checked the fan and it's not running.  I'm going to clean the contacts
to the thermoswitch this weekend but I'm wondering if there are other
possible culprits.  If my thermostat was failing would it also cause
the fan not to come on?

Thanks

Tim
