QUESTION: yes the fan comes on.
Answerpossible clog else where then in the system U said U flushed the system u just drained out the old stuff and put new stuff in correct? if so that is not a flush that is just drain and fill. U will need a machine to flush the system out and it may take a few times if u et the coolant get that nasty.
