    Checked out the fans to find my right fan was running backwards!!!!! No wonder the poor car was heating up. Still going to flush the radiator but that should make a huge difference.

    OK I gotta ask the obvious question here. Why was the fan running backwards. Did you/someone rewire it?

    Sounds like the polarity is backward.

    Yes sir, just swap both wires over and the fan will start turning the opposite direction. :):)

    Easy fix and good catch. :):)
