re: Auto Mechanic Board: Car Overheating?

Could be a number of different things... something major like a leak or something minor like a fuse.

I had a car once and the fan would randomly stop running. I found out that it kept blowing the fuse. After doing some checking under the hood I found that the car had once had an alarm system and someone took everything out. They cut all the wires but left them connected to the battery. The wires would hit metal, short out, blow the fuse for the fan, and the car would overheat.
