    Default Stupid Radiator and Heat

    Anybody have any idea why my radiator won't turn off when i take out my key. Oh yea and my heater can be turned on without my key in the car. PLEASE HELP, ITS ANNOYING, I gotta take out my relay each time when I get out of the car so the radiator doesn't eat my battery.

    Your radiator does not run...

    You are probably thinking of an electric fan, check your relays. Sometimes you can swap one not in use with the bad one. Check fuses also.

    lolol. damn running radiators. ok well...try to find something close to the ground...cat preferabley...a tree will work to or a curb....accelerate to 88 mph and wait for the flux capacitor to fire and hit the object...that'll fix the radiator

    I haven't touched any of the grounds, but what should I do with the ground if it is the problem.

    Just check to see if there's corrosion, if its even bolted down and if it has a good metal to metal contact. I'd check the relays mentioned above first if you haven't done so...
