My problem with my 2001 Ford Focus is the cooling fans don't work. It's a factory fan. The mechanic said
the fan is drawing to much amps, which kills the fan relay which will eventually will kill the fan. So far I replaced fan relay, the coolant, the thermostat, the water pump housing ,the cooling fan resistor and this stupid as thing called the water pump coolant inlet tube. It's made of plastic , running close to boiling water through a piece of plastic has to the worst possible design ever. When the car overheats ,there is no radiator cap to release the pressure . So this inlet tube is the only way to release the pressure, unfortunately the way it releases pressure it cracks, as my wife found out the hard way. It seems like whatever I do it's not going to fix the problem.
These cars are known for over heating . I would appreciate any advice to fix the problem permanently.
My wife drives this car every day , round trip about 100 miles. I want her to have a peace of mind knowing the
car won't break down again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ~Chris
