My car is overheating and I just replaced the thermostat. I think it could be the fan. How could I check if its good or not. Thanks

Turn the A/C to full blast and the cooling fan should come on automatically. If you don't have A/C then you will have to supply direct 12v to the fan to see if it comes on.

First check the fuse. If its OK then check the cooling fan relay(s).

Your cooling fan relay is in the engine compartment fuse / relay block.

Will have to supply 12v directly to the fan by running some wire from your battery terminals to the fan
