Question
Hello the radiator fans of my 2000 mirage stop working, i already replace the coolant, the temperature switch & the thermostat but still don't work, the fuse in the main compartment is OK, can you please advise me?

Thank

Armando: There is a relay to those fans that should be checked. But also do the fans themselfs work, I mean is there power getting to the motors of the fans and are those motors in good working order? To check the fan motors unplug the electrical connector and use fused jumper wires to connect the fan directly to the battery. If the fan still does not work, replace the motor or motors. The motor relay is mounted on the left side of the engine compartment relay center. I think you should also go out and buy yourself a repair manual for your car. They cost around $20.00 at any parts store. Hope this helps and good luck!
