celica overheated., Fan/Fan switch/Thermostat? Options

[Badkarma]

my gf's celica overheated today and by the time she realized the temp guage topped out, she was home and the car was steaming. when i got home from work i checked the coolant, it was low so i filled it and it isn't leaking. (not enough to notice) so i had her start the car and the fans didnt turn on at all while the temp guage topped out again after about 5 min.

i figure its probably the thermostat, Fan Switch/Relay, or the Fan itself. am i on the right track? how hard is it to pull the thermostat or fan switch/relay?

Thanks, Erich

well im having same problem overheating old raid was leaking and cap was busted so like a week ago i bought brand new raid and cap i have good hoses not leaking actually its not leaking at all anymore. fans wouldn't turn on so i unpluged the sensor and their always on but it still over heats but i did notice the bottom hose no matter how hot the engine got it had no pressure and was cold so im gonna replace my thermostat hopefully that fixes it. i would suggest you atleast take a look at that. see if that does anything ill prob let u know if it fixed my prob cuz we might have the same issue. hope that helps. also watch out for leaks. mainly through the reserve tank if it is the preessure might be building and being relesed through that lil hole in the reserve tank.

by the way not 100% sure but i think thermostat is here
