Excellent video! Big help! However, I wanted to add something to it that I found out in my 72 hour overheating diagnosis. HOPEFULLY, it will save someone else a lot of headache. I spent 3 full days researching what my problem was. 2014 Mustang V6 was operating fine UNTIL I turned on the AC; then it would overheat. I popped the hood and realized that the fan was not running when the engine reached high temp. I tested the fans, relays, fuses per your instructions - everything checked out (SO I THOUGHT). The actual problem was the Fan High Speed relay. It had continuity during testing with 12v and multimeter; but failed under the actual load in the vehicle. SO, I strongly suggest that if you hit a brick wall; swap out the relay with another working relay (in my case it was the relay for the starter). Soon as I swapped it out, the starter was dead; switched back and it was fine. Bought a new relay for $21 with lifetime warranty and I have been good to go! Hope this helps someone!

I tried testing the relay just by switching it with another of the same in my Subaru Outback. Everything was still fine so I figured it wasn't the relay until a couple days later my wipers went out because that's the relay I replaced it with.

What one was it

I have been terrified of my cars overheating issues for years. Your videos are the first ones ever to make sense of it all. I have yet to find my multi meter, but once I do, I will be following your instructions religiously. I appreciate your help more than you may be able to imagine. Fear of things electronic has kept me from trying...and I am otherwise not afraid of much! Thank you so much!

Excellent diagnostic, here ! Clear and simple. 1st, check the fuse ! Also, in a pinch, you can swap the #1 relay with one of the other relays on the same number designation. Swap the two & see if your fan issue is resolved. #1 relay should hold the coolant temp at ~ 190*F, even on a hot day.

Truly helpful video. You cover so much more than other sites, yet in a clear, professional, calm matter. (Thanks for helping us with the electrical wiring diagnostics....) You just earned another regular follower.

​@CarsNToys so on my 2001 acura mdx, the fans are not turning on and the temperature Guage is reading normal but if I pull the relay out, which I tested and is fine, if I take a test light and connect to ground and touch the test light probe to where the relay plugs in, the low fan turns on. What do you think it could be?

I really appreciate the time you put into this and the methodical way you explain step by step so clearly. I can't wait to get started tomorrow on mine. my Pontiac Montana overheats because the fans don't come on and the connectors to the heater hoses in the back became brittle and finally cracked. I purchased it old but after all the work of putting all those hoses back on, you made this seem like a piece of cake by comparison. Thanks again

Most informative but simple video on this topic that I've found! 👏

Thanks so very much for the education! I couldn’t think of a better teacher. God Bless you

Best video I found on KZread for not only testing the fans but troubleshooting the whole circuit. Thank you very much, I will keep this video in a playlist to refer back to when needed.

Superb presentation. You are a great teacher. Subscribed. Even in cars with a multiple speed Single fan , the low speed function can break early and slowly destroy the ac compressor and then the entire system will have broken parts of the compressor circulating.

Most helpful description I have ever thank you so much. There was one little thing, if there is no voltage it is not a shark, it's an open, a short with blow a fuse or cause wires to burn. It's a tiny issue and it may avoid explnig it. That said many many thanks, you are the best I have heard at the many hours of searching.

@@CarsNToys With key at ON position, 86 of the C/Fan Relay has 12 volt, and 85 had 1 volt respectively. This relay sits on the engine compartment box. Now, my issue is that as a test light bulb with its one end connected to 86 and other end to ground, the bulb did not glow. Same case for testing a relay. In both cases, the voltage across each loads is about 3 volt. Why is this happening???

I believe that’s what my problem was I just bought this mustang and they had put a new air conditioning in the vehicle as well and they also use this other set up call to Mishi Moto and when I drove the car originally during the day for the first time everything was fine and then when I turn the air-conditioning knob from where it was to the off position is when I had a problem with the car overheating I just got the car today I’m gonna try to switch that setting back to where it was because the way this thing is wired up it should kick on on its own when it gets up to temperature and I noticed when I was driving the car for the second time when this happened temperature gauge really wasn’t going up while I was driving it for the 20 minutes before it overheated
