[s-cars] Electric Fan not working.......

[Wylie Bean]

Jim
I haven't even had a fan attached to my viscous clutch in quite some time,  
even through a portion of last Summer. My electric fan still works, but it  
obviously comes on only when the coolant/underhood temps get rather warm.  
Unless you're doomed to a lot of traffic I'd say you're fine.  I'd say if  
your reservoir is full and the light is still coming on you might want to  
check the sensor in the bottom of the reservoir, and also make sure your  
thermostat isn't stuck closed and the coolant temps aren't stupid hot.
Good luck.

Hey all,

After finally getting my car on the road after my coil saga, I have run into  
an electric fan issue.  Coming home today the flashing "Coolant" autocheck  
display came on......all temps were normal, I pulled over, shut it down and  
checked for leaks, etc.  Coolant level was just under the minimum mark, so  
topped it off and restarted car.  Light comes on after a minute, so I start  
checking around and noticed the electric fan does not come on even when the  
A/C is turned on.  I was able to drive home, temps were all normal, even  
below because I had the heat on.  I'm currently in the process of diagnosing  
what's going on, but my question is this.....with temps in the 40's to 60's  
and country roads going 40-50mph, can I drive this thing for the next couple  
of days until I get this fixed?  The flashing light freaks me out, though  
the temps are all running normal, even below normal with the heat on.....I  
know it's not ideal, but need to get places with no other option!

Also, any thoughts on what might be the cause, please chime in.....I'm  
searching archives now.....thanks!
