So suprisingly my radiator burst! I had no clue, why, but it did. Turns out it was due to the radiator fans not spinning.
Aside from the fan motor, and fan relay..... any other reasons why it woudn't kick in? It's frustrating, almost blew another rad! Someone said thermostat? I have no clue how much that would cost? Is that an easy fix? Would that even relate to the fan not kicking in. I'm baffled when it comes to this part of the car. lol Thanks, Shaun |

If its the thermostat its a really easy fix. Takes the experienced mechanic like 5-10 minutes. Just look at a instruction manual. The radiator might have burst becuase the thermostat was stuck closed which would cause a lot of pressure in the cooling system, causing the said result. The thermostat should be replaced while you are in there anyways, they cost like $5-10 and like I said are relatively easy to install. Just make sure the engine is cool when you do it
 . Hope that helps.
