I replaced everything with the coolant system. When I put my fluids in it and try to bleed the system, it starts to shoot out big bubbles out of the reservoir before I can bleed the system. My fans don't kick on automatically, but I can turn them on inside the car when I turn the heat or A/C on. Can you help me please? I have been working on it for days now.

Hello FRANK38061,

Can you tell me what you have replaced so far?

Sounds like half the cooling fan circuit isn't working. How long ago did that start? Did it happen after parts of the system were replaced?

Did it just start over-heating one day? How long after did you notice the fans weren't working on their own?

Has it been blowing bubbles the whole time you have had the issue, or did it start after replacing a certain component?

Is it blowing bubbles as soon as you start it or when it starts to get hot?

What are you using for coolant?

This will help give me an idea of what happened when so we can see what is going on.

Thank you,
Brendon
