Re: Cooling Fan doesnt kick on - SOMETIMES

["johnsdmc12" <dherv10@xxxx>]

Mike, I would make sure the system is full of coolant to the proper 
levels and after the car has had time to heat up, then bleed all the 
air out. Then watch the temperature gauge as the car heats up. If the 
otterstat isn't turning the fans on at about a needle width or so 
above the second line on the gauge, then there is something wrong in 
the electrical circuit. Could be circuit breaker, fan fail or 
otterstat. Not knowing what your car has in it, anything could be 
wrong.
