was it kettle-ing through the overflow bottle?
ye definately kettling through overflow bottle. any idea how much the thermo fan cost to replace young1?
is it the fan or the sensor?
bridge out the fan with 12v to see if it runs. if so, its the sensor or wiring, or maybe the thermostat
(i know that sounds stupid, but hear me out) had a 250 that kettled repeatedly. check the fan motor; ok but still kettling, changed the sensor for the fan motor, and the temperature sender, still kettling. pulled the thermostat, and it immediately fixed it; albeit ran waaay to cold. put a replacement thermostat in and perfect.
what i believe was happening was the thermostat was jammed shut, and the sensor for the fan and the temperature sensor is above the thermostat. meaning it doesnt see way too hot coolant, but the pressure build up and heat goes the wrong way around, blowing the superheated water out of the overflow bottle
