fan problems/cooling issues/ NEED HELP!!
OK, let me start at the begining. A bag got stcuk in my radiator fan driver side, and burned out the motor. I had the whole fan replaced and am getting no codes. I JUST OPUT ON A BRAND NEW FRONT AIR DAM (AS IN MY OTHER POST ABOUT IT BEING TRIMMED).
The car is still running hot to me and I can't tell if the fans are even running. Checked all fuses, and can't figure it out. I ran up to 243 today and shut her down. What could be the problem. Is it supposed to be running this hot? need advice. Car never ran like this before, and I do have a 160 TS.

Have to be something else also for sure should not be this hot. Has your water level got low are got a air pocket in your rad check this out also man...If it get hot let it still run and push on your top rad hose. If it is hard as a rock above is what you have..Let us know man..But at about 190 with your air cond on your fans both of them should be running.... Robert

I bet you pretty much same problem as one of our Canadian member has, he is SC'ed and his both fan settings to come on at 170, and his Fan1 which is Driver's side dont come on, i switched F1-F2 and than it worked, so F1 ground wire coming out of PCM not working or dead. since i dont have CKT diagram to trace that ground to PCM, i switched his F1 ground and voltage both from F2 to F1.
So both fans comes on at any time Temp reaches 170, which is actually good for him.
if you good in electrical diagnosis than its actually simple, you just need tester or voltmeter and couple of foot long wires, and if you have HP tuner or eFIlive its even better that way you can activate fans without running the car.
On F2 pass side, black is posi and white is ground forgot what color code on F1 side though.
