Q: Radiator fan relay
My car had been overheating I took it in & got a new radiator & Motor & still they had to put a temporary fix in order for my radiator fan to come on .. I would have to control it by a switch & have the fan running the whole time in order for it not to overheat while driving & I would have turn it off when I'm done driving so the fan could stop .. What is exactly the problem ?? I think it's the relay ..if so where/how can I get it fix & how much would it run me
