My daughter has a 95 base mustang, it has started to overheat ,but only with the a/c on . i also noticed that the fan is not coming on when the alc is on . the car overheats to a point that i guess the computer shuts off the compressor and it blows warm air . after the vehicle cools down the a/c blows cold until it overheats again. i have replaced the cooling fan , coolent sensor,radiator ,thermostat, and new anti-freeze....Any ideas, on what the problem could be ???? [she will be taking this vehicle to college ] thanks, Larry

checked all the fuses in the box under the hood,as you instructed , they are all good ....the radiator fan works normally cycling as needed until the a/c is turned on then it doesnt work ,engine gets so hot that the a/c compressor shuts off and blows warm air, now if you stop the car and let everything cool down ,,,a/c works fine until car starts to overheat and compressor turns off again, any ideas on what else to check..thanks, Larry

[quote:523a4f88ad="justanold"]HELLO! Sorry i didn't get back to you sooner. remove the plastic shield that covers the top of the radiator. remove the two rad. brackets holding it in place and tip the rad. towards the engine. look between the rad. and condenser. is there a fuzzy looking blanket of debris? if so it has to be removed with high pressure air. before the A/C shuts off..does the cooling fan change speed to high? 8) 8) 8)[/quote:523a4f88ad] i installed a new radiator, and fan... however when a/c is on--- cooling fan does not come on at all....
