Engine staring great on my 2009 Big Red. However Fan not turning and radiator not working, even after warming it up for 10 minutes. Relays and fuses changes, thermostat changed out, new thermostat sensor installed.
Any ideas?

With a short warm up, it should not work yet! Needs to get hot. Then water will flow. Then when the oil/water gets hot enough the fan will come on.
You can test it by grounding out the wire on the thermo sensor.

Mine rarely comes on unless it is hot outside and the machine is not moving very fast or I am taxing the motor pulling something.

I just got mine----2009. I've not seen the fan come on yet. No mil or temp lights. Everything seems to be fine. There is a lot of heat (seems like) that comes from under the parking brake lever. I know the fan works because I ran a hot wire straight to it. Somebody let me know if there is a problem....Thanks, so very much.

Hey. It's me again. I ran the BR some today and as was said above, it was warm outside, I ran in 4 wheel drive a lot, and let it idle with the hood open. The fan came on and tickled me to death. Thankful nothing is wrong.....Thanks.
