Message This weekend I went for a drive in 98-105 weather.

All was well until I got stuck behind a slow moving vehicle. The temp slowly climbed from 1/2 to about 4/5 when I pulled over and let it cool. The rest of the drive was fine unless I was at a stop or slow speeds.

The AUX fan does not seem to be turning on. It is supposed to come on when running the AC correct? I removed the nose panel and ran the car at idle with the AC on and the fan was not moving.

I checked the clutch fan by spinning it by hand and it would turn about 1/5 of a rotation.

Coolant levels are fine and I have no leaks.

I plan to flush out the system this week to see if that helps. The radiator itself looks a little dirty but I can't see any large debris.


I am thinking the AUX fan is the main problem but I just wanted some other opinions since I am still very new to this stuff.
