My PT Cruiser has been overheating on me. I can't seem to find any info on the thermostat. I flushed the radiator hoping, but no luck. Any suggestions?

If it overheats at highway speed, either the radiator is pluging, you have a bad thermostat, or a bad headgasket.

Here is how to check the t-stat.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

I replaced the thermostat, didn't fix it. I heard the relay for the 2 speed fan has been a problem on them. Now I can't find the relay to replace. The fuse was blown so I replaced that, it seems to have fixed it. Thank you.
