yeah yeah yeah ive searched and searched. car was overheating, changed thermostat but fans wouldnt kick on. changed the temp switch, still a no go. pulled the switch to make the fans stay on constantly, and pulled the relays one by one to see if the fans worked, and they did. wasnt losing water or anything. would overheat if i sat in one place for a long time. today started smoking, turned it off, then when traffic started moving i hauled my butt home and popped the hood to hear a hissing sound, yes a crack radiator. now i'm going to get a new one i found one already a koyo used for 50... my question is, is there any possible chance that maybe my fans will kick in after i replace the radiator? or do i need to start looking for the problem, maybe a short or something?

The rad fans switch is normally at the bottom of the rad. There is some possibility it can be bad. The fan relay may also be the cause. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 Turbo 4WD, Black
