I have a 2002 Lincoln LS V8.
My car overheats when it is idle to long, going up really long hills, and stop and go traffic. Usually I click the heat on to make it drop down but after that trick is performed that is it. My mechanic told me its not my t-stat, prolly a bigger problem. I have replace the fan solenoid relay (small square relay box #10)... I have picked up a coolant thermo sensor but can't figure where to install it. Need a shop manual.
I have been on the site reading. I think I found the problem to be the fan pump control solenoid or the fan pump actuator. Are these the same? If they are where are they located? What is it called in the shop manual.
I have very limited car lingo... The only car i had before this was my honda accord and I keeped it running with my the few skills i have. Meaning pictures and diagrams help alot.
