Hello,

It sounds like you might have a blown head gasket but to be sure lets run the codes to see what come up.

A blown head gasket can make the fan not come on as well, but we should check the power to the fan to see if it is bad and needs to be replaced.

Here is a guide to help us see if there is power at the fan:

Here are the wiring diagram for the fan so we can see where you are losing power.

Here is a guide that will give you an idea of what you are in for when changing the radiator fan motor out.

Check out the diagrams (below).

Please run this test and get back to us.
