Q: My ‘93 Ford Escort overheats if idling too long. The cooling fan will not come on and it is not a fan motor or a relay problem. Two mechanics say its electrical. The ground was lost somewhere. One says it will take hours to locate the problem, and labor alone will cost hundreds of dollars. The other laughed at this and said he can find it and fix it in minutes by putting in a new ground. Who's right? Also the clock does not work, but comes on occasionally for a few minutes. Any connection?
A: The ground for the cooling fan motor is located on the left front of the vehicle near the left headlight. I would suggest checking there first. If the connection is good, go with technician B’s answer and run a new ground wire.
