Hi everyone;
I've been on here off and on for small diagnosis help. GREAT site with lots of info.
My car (2005 Kia Rio manual trans) overheats in traffic, but fine on highway. I have read the threads on overheating and it points to the cooling fan. I see all the steps to take for diagnostics, but first wanted to ask a really simple question that might save some time:
Should the fan spin freely when the car is off? Mine is solid, no movement at all. I would assume that the fan motor would spin freely. If this is the case, then I probably have a seized bearing or motor. An easy fix.
Thanks!
Jonathan
