I have a 98 LSC and the other day it overheated. It did not enter the red zone but was close. It was flowing out of the reservoir tank. I added some coolant to the reservoir tank ( I now know that is not the proper way to add the coolant) and drove home. Actually I drove home with the a/c off and it did not move past the mid point. I immediately did some research on the posts and realized that the radiator cooling fan was not turning.
I checked the voltage at the connector and it read 13.2 Vdc. I also learned that the fan turned on by a signal from the VCRM. Someone suggested that you apply 12V directly from the battery to the fan terminals. If the signal isn't there from the VCRM, then how does applying 12V from the battery signal the fan to start?
I found some complete fan assemblies from car-parts.com (thanks to information supplied from Whiplash). How do the junkyards ensure that the fan is working? The fan blades rotate freely on mine so they are not seized up.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
