I have a 2005 Cevy Cavalier with 94000 miles. It has a 2.2 flex fuel engine and there are no sounds or leaks at the current time. Within the last 2 weeks I have had to replace the alternator and then the battery. Two days after I replaced the battery the radiator fan stopped working and my car now overheats. I have replaced the relay and fuse at the top of the engine and I am able to jump start the fan motor off the battery. When I spoke with Chevy they said that there is another relay and a switch but would not tell me where. I just spent $350 on the car and they want me to bring it in to them for a diagnostic at $80 and said that the repairs could cost another $200. Could you please give me some suggestions that I could try on my own before I have to pay $200 to let them plug in a $16 relay or switch.

I would go to an auto parts store and have them show you where your water temp. sending unit is. should be a sensor for water temp. on the intake or waterpump or the thermastat gooseneck. If that is bad fans won't work

Thanks for the advice, I changed the sensor and still no fan. I, have also noticed that the car gets worse when I run the air. Guess I am taking it to the dealer. I live in Fl. and it is to hot to not have A/C much less drive around with heater on.
