Now that the warm weather is out, I've noticed that the water temperature at idle has gone up to approximatly 235 degree F. When the car is in motion it settles down to around 175 F. I have a drilled out 180 state and while the temperature at idle is at the 235 F mark the dual fans in front of the rads aren't working.

Any suggestions?

Where is the fuse and relay for the fans, I can check that first.?

Thanks for the reply jr, , for the time it'* been on the road (6 months) I've never seen that fans operate, mind it was November when I started driving it. The outside temperature when the gauge was at 235 F was 60 degrees F. I would assume it would go even higher if I let it idle longer and or the outside temperature was even higher. Another thing I noted was that after idle and the temp. being at 235 F the overdrive didn't work. When the temperature went down to 175 it finally worked again.

Never been to NEBF before and Mick and I are driving alone mostly at night. I know for a fact that we'll be at the boarder at around 5:00 pm and there will be traffic for sure.

If somone can tell me were the relay and the fuse is, I can check it. I beleive the relay is a black box? Is it located somewhere on the firewall?

Passenger side relay center on firewall. There'* three there I think... AC low speed and high speed.

If you turn the ac on (I know..do it ianyway) and set the temp to 60 the fans should try and come on automatically.

Thanks Don and Bill, Mick took the car to his part time job and will be home tonight at 11:00pm so I'll check in the morning. So Don, it'* normal for the OD not to work if the car is overheating then? I also noticed that when I was on the highway, the OD still didn't work when the car went down to the normal temperature. The next time I drove it, it worked fine and has ever since. It only doesn't work when the car over heats.

Thanks Guys.
