Most cars have a electric fan, ensure the connector is plugged in and check the basics (power and ground). While under the hood... ensure all belts are tight and accounted for.
Can you measure the remaining charge on battery with what... a multimeter or...?

Sounds like an air flow problem. Check the fan operation, if it is not working your car could overheat. If the fan is working check the radiator, it could be plugged with debris. Bugs and dirt, maybe.Hello. What is the best way to get ice off my car and windows?
Check the radiator hose, it could be old and clasping .. that might cause for overheating. A faulty thermostat could cause it to over heat. Have you ever had the radiator flushed. Also could be a belt slipping. An Electric pump may not be turning the fan.A mechanic offered me $200 for my totaled car, is it worth it?

Yes, a thermostat would cause what you describe. If you vehicle is ten years or less in age, chances are it's the electric fan motor/relay. When was the last time you had the cooling system flushed?Just because the water pump was changed 'not too long ago' doesn't exclude it from going bad.
Start the vehicle, after it cooled down. Remove the radiator cap and observe the flow once the vehicle is up to 'operating temp'. If it travels sluggish, then have the system flushed. The electric fan should be operating once the vehicle is hot, if not there's a problem.
If this car has a plastic radiator end tanks, there could be a brown sludge in the reservoir, that is ginger, used by the manufacturer to help 'prevent small leaks', so don't give it much concern.

If you don't feel comfortable with removing the radiator cap to check flow rate, then leave the system pressurized. Start vehicle, bring it to operating temperature and feel the upper hose (one by thermostat) and then the lower to feel if it warms. That should take only 2-3 minutes, max. If the lower is not warming then there is a blockage in the radiator...........AGAIN it's time to have the entire cooling system 'back flushed'.

First of all, a thermostat will NOT cause the type of problem you are describing. What you have is an airflow, not a water flow problem. Since you don't say anything about which vehicle, engine or type of fan, it makes answering a question that much more fun. Either your elec fan is not coming on, could've been removed for access to the water pump and not plugged back in.....or the temp switch near the thermostat housing isn't plugged in completely. End result is the fan doesn't turn on, or doesn't run at full speed. Otherwise should the fan be engine driven, it's very possible the thermal clutch has leaked to the point there isn't enough left to fully engage the fan. A simple test is to stop the engine when its hot, and spin the fan over by hand. If little resistance is felt, then spin it faster for a few more turns. If it doesn't stiffen up, then replace the thermal clutch. Also, do the blades spin the correct way? Was it installed backwards? Makes it easier to answer if there's more info...More Questions & Answers ...
