90s over-heating, & replacing thermostat?

TJ66 · 07-01-2007, 04:32 AM

I’ve been experiencing an over-heating problem with my 90s, the cooling fan isn’t coming on. I recently replaced the cooling fan relays, & still it doesn’t come on. Also, recently I replace the coolant expansion tank because it was leaking. Now I believe to remedy the issue, the thermostat needs to be replaced. Can anyone tell me where exactly is it located, & how “easy” of a job is it to replace?

Also would you recommend replacing the fan switch at the same time?

Thank you in advance

Am I to believe that maybe this is an inactive part of the site, or that no one here does their own repairs?
