Gator Overheating, fan doesn't come on

[ruffdog]

Many times there is a thermo-switch on the radiator that turns on a relay that then runs a fan. As stated before, if the water pump is not circulating the hot water, the fan never turns on. So, is your thermostat opening? Is the water pump working? Is the thermo-switch switching? Does the relay work? Does the fan work?

Lots of good questions. I was just hoping to get some info about the way the system is SUPPOSED to work so I would know how to proceed. As I previously mentioned, I thought maybe the fan might supposed to just come on when it starts, because there is ZERO airflow over the radiator from movement.

If I remember, it does not come on until up to temp and then interment after that when needed
