That proves that the circuit is functioning. Is the car boiling over or the temp gauge going all the way to red?

As soon as I run it for a while it levels off for a while then it will begin to get hot espicially during the day I dont run it all day but yes it gets hot I thought it may be a sensor but also a relay?

It sounds normal to me. These electric fans are programmed to kick at much higher temps than the normal 195 f the thermostat. This one does not kick on until 221 degrees which seems too hot but it's designed that way.
