    DON'T FOOL YOURSELVES PEOPLE !!!.THE TRUTH IS THAT WHEN OVERHEATING ISSUES YOU WILL NEED TO PUT FIX A LEAK AND DIRTY THE THEN WATER AND PRESTONE THEN FLUSH OUT AND THEN REPLACE THURMASTAT AND REDIATOR CAP AND WATER PUMP AND THE COOLANT FAN COOLANT SENSOR AND THE HOSES AND THE IDOL CONTROL VALVE AND TEST THE RELAYS AND FUSES AND THEN AFTER ALL THAT WORK AND REPLACEMENT YOU WILL STILL HAVE OVERHEATING ISSUES, TAKE IT TOO MACIANIC SCAMMERS ROBBING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND PAY ANOTHER 2000 DOLLARS FOR THE SAME SAME THING YOU JUST DID ON YOUR COOLANT SYSTEM,, THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU ARE FKD TOTALLY FKD AND THEN GO TOO UA-cam VIDEOS AND ASK FOR ADVICE EVERYBODY IS A MACIANIC BUT NO ONE KNOWS A DAM THING

    I replaced my BM resistor because my a/c was acting up by not wanting to blow air in my car. When I removed the BM resistor, I found that it had corrosion which led me to believe that it was causing poor electrical flow in my a/c system. After replacing it with a new one, my a/c was working like brand new. Thanks to this video I was able to rectify the problem given that I saved up a lot of $$$ by doing myself instead taking to a mechanic to troubleshoot it. Even though the part cost me around $100, at least I avoided paying about $400 instead because of labor.

    So, my radiator melted down three times in a year. I scheduled a replacement and realized I have two thermostats. It was super expensive to repair, so I only ended up replacing the front one. I really hope that fixes the problem. I also asked the mechanic to find out if it was the sensor. Before the replacement, I got the code P0128. My engine temperature was cool near the problem, then went back up to normal at around 179°F on the highway. But on idle or city driving, it got around 185-199°F, which is normal for my car. Right when i have the radiator melt down. My temp needles jump up to redline so quickly before i can stop to cool it down, thus causing the melt. It's been two months since the code popped up. I'm currently waiting to pick up my car. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's either the front thermostat or the sensor.

      Change it, then drive it for a while to allow the new fluid to mix with the old stuff and then change it again. At that point it will have close to new fluid.
