Fan problem(help)

[97gstturbo]

So I finally get my car back from Mitsubishi .I had a bunch of things fixed but they weren't able to fix my fan problem.from what they told me I need to take it to a tuner shop to get them on..anyways it didn't make sense to me.I don't see how they can't get my fans to go on..I was thinking of wiring them manually and control them with a switch.is this possible? And if done when do I turn the fan on? It's a 2g eclipse

You should wire the fans to the factory harness so they turn on when needed. I know some people wire them manually or with a manual override so they can keep the fans on full speed while at idle or with the engine off to cool down the coolant when at the track.

The radiator fan is connected to the harness but still don't go on..that's why I said maybe manually

Check with a volt meter if its getting any power. If not, check fuses next.

I would think Mitsubishi would of done that

I would think Mitsubishi would of done that

You would also think they would have fixed it but they didn't, so maybe they didn't check the fuses?

+1 on that.

I would think Mitsubishi would of done that

You would think they would have checked..But I highley doubt they did..If you don't tell them to do something they wont..Especially when fuses are the easiest thing to check..

 

[97gstturbo]

Ok I'll check them out

If your mitsubishi dealer is anything like mine, They checked NOTHING. My dealer is the WORST, from service to customer service...

Yeah Mitsubishi dealerships are probably one of the worst operated dealerships out of all the other manufacturers. I have yet to walk into a Mitsu dealership where the sales people didn't think the EVO was the shit, that customer service actually existed, that you weren't treated like shit, and when you brought your car in for service, it was repaired properly the first time.

The only decent people in Mitsu that I've experienced is the parts dept. At least they hook me up with some nice 10-20% discounts.

Before I bought my Acura TL, I actually walked into a BMW dealership looking at an M3. The sales people were very friendly and let me test drive, run some numbers down the list for payments, did a friendly follow up call, etc. Then I walked in looking at the EVO X. The guy was like, you shouldn't buy this car if you need to finance it. I was like, excuse me? I make more than you. Don't tell me what I can and can't afford. When he asked me how much, I told him ~80k and he finally shut his mouth. Only reason I didn't get the M3 was because I couldn't get a low enough rate on financing. Acura offered me 4% vs 9% at BMW, mostly because I've had about 4 loans with Honda Finance (motorcycle, PWC, and 2 cars).
