Topic starter

Dear Scotty, how are you today? It’s a pleasure to be on this platform and I appreciate all the efforts you put in to serving people.. I just drove home in my Ford Focus 2003 and suddenly saw steam rising from under the hood. I quickly popped it open and saw that the coolant reservoir was totally empty. I allowed it to cool down and then re-filled the tank. All of a sudden, I noticed that when I tried to start it again after several minutes, only one fan came on unlike before with the both of them coming on at the same time.. kindly tell me what you think.. thanks

I noticed that the leak was from under the reservoir cap. Could it be that the Cap can’t hold pressure anymore?


you just told me it can't


I apologize.. I discovered that both my fans had stopped working.. this was because the wiring had become very old and corroded.. thanks for the help


ok glad you got it fixed. Thanks for following up.

I had this problem last week with my 1986 Dodge 600 convertible. I replaced the thermostat and problem went away. Historically it started to run hot and then hotter. Prior to that it ran find.
