I was driving down the road yesterday on my way to the parts store to get a fuse for my radiator fan and the coolant light starts flashing red at me and it beeped 3 times. I pull over and it stops flashing so I go to the store and put my new fuse in, it was fine for the rest of the day.
I think: problem solved
are my problems ever solved???
today I started my 50 mile journey to go get my girl from school for the weekend, and halfway there it does it again... so I pull over and it stops. I proceed with my journey and not 2 miles down the road it does it again... so I pull over and check fluids and everything is fine. I get a suspicion that its running a little hot, so I take one for the team and turn the heat on full blast and it didn't do it the whole way to her dormitory.
on the way home, the heat is on full blast and about 10 miles into the trip (once we get out of town up to highway speed) the light starts flashing red and beeping at me again... and again... and again... so I decided to drive 50mph instead of 55mph and it was fine the whole way home.
sounds to me like its getting a little warm... :annoyed
where should I start trouble shooting?
I have a strong feeling that it is the radiator fan system because I have never seen them run since we've had the car... even since i put the new fuse in
