Toyota Repair: tempature gage, jumper wire, blown fuse
QuestionMy tempature gauge on my car stopped working nad i don't think my fan kicks when when i'm idleing whats the problem?
AnswerI am guessing by the info provided to me that your fan is electric. It sounds like the relay may be faulty. To test the fan itself, run a jumper wire to the fan motor directly from the battery. Does the fan operate? If so you most likely have a blown fuse or relay. If the fan does not spin, you have a bad fan, which may have caused a fuse to blow due to the voltage load. I would check all your fuses(under hood of car) I would also suggest you not drive the car too much as it can lead to very costly engine repairs if it gets too hot. Refer to a local dealer for the exact location of the relay.
