2003 Eclipse overheating

[WormGod]

That's crazy man. It's that kind of crap that makes you want to pull your hair out. I feel your pain.

I wouldn't go hot wiring anything if it was never intended to work that way in the first place. Just seems like a hack fix to me. There has got to be some idiotic underlying issue that just has not been found yet.

GL man.

I flushed the radiator - cloudy water came out but no chunks

I flushed the block - again, cloudy water but no chunks (this process ran water backward through the thermostat - block - waterpump ... no blockage).

I'm almost ready to give up & take it to the stealership.

I still want to check the rest of the fuses to see if that's why the fan isn't kicking on (just a shot in the dark tho since they kick on with the AC).

Cooling system is supposed to be SIMPLE!!!
