“I have changed my radiator fan and the relay switch twice now. My mechanic is now saying that it must be a computer issue but when a diagnostic is run, nothing comes back. In heavy traffic the temperature gauge slowly climbs and the engine runs hot. The radiator fan kicks in and out, cycling fast short cycles.”
