I drove to visit my gf in Maryland and attend our dr appt to get our first sonogram for my 1st child.After finding out I'm having a little girl,my joy was somewhat washed away when my car began overheating.The next day,I reluctantly took it to a local mechanic in her area.15 minutes and $40 later,the guy informs me that the cause of the overheating is because my radiator fans won't turn on at all thus not cooling down the engine when it gets hot.He said he cheked the fuse box and it was fine.He said there is a problem with the relay to the fans,causing them not to turn on.I stopped him before he went any further in fear that he would completely drain my wallet.He wanted to order a "sensor" that he wasn't even sure was the problem or the solution and told me it was "non-refundable" so even if it didnt fix the issue,i'd still be responsible for the $90 dollars he claims it cost.PLEASE,IF YOU HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE ON THIS ISSUE,I NEED YOUR HELP.I DONT START WORKING UNTIL AUG,I NEED TO GO BACK TO VA SO I CAN MOVE TO BEGIN WORK AND THE BIRTH OF MY 1ST CHILD IS STEADILY APPROACHING.I only bought this concorde as a sacrifice for my child.i wanted a sebring convertible or a firebird but i figured the gigantic trunk space,smooth ride and spaceous interior would be a huge help for a new dad.I want a car thats going to be reliable for my gf and my daughter.It's our only vehicle.

Went to mechanic today and he tried to push both fans with a pole.one moved freely (passenger side).the other was locked in place

p.s. its a 3.2 6 cylinder.just got an oil change if that helps any.

 

do u have any ability of performing work on your own car? do u ahve any tools or electrical test equipment?

 

nope.i dont know much about cars.im learning as i go since this is the 1st car i bought on my own.

if its any help,one fan turns freely and the other is stuck in place

 

Heeellllpppppp

 

replace the fan motors both of them.

 

cool thanx...any clue on about how much it will cost to replace both fan motors?

 

U will haft to do the research yourself on that one.

 

will i need to replace the fans themselves also.thanx for your help.

 

I got a diagnostic on it ($70) and it was determined that I need a new fan motor and relay.The place wanted to charge me $750 to replace it.My cousin and a few other ppl say that price is ridiculous.I'm not sure whether it is reasonable or not but I found a sight selling a brand new fan assembly with a motor for $160 http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...062403k1375196

and the relays are only 16 bucks.I just need to know if $750 is indeed outrageous and if the fan assembly is the right part.The motor by itself is about $80-95.

 

u dont need the relays just the motors.
