Yes I did bleed the coolant system. Tomorrow will be the test drive to work and back and I will not use the AC system just to see if the temp gauge stays in the NORMAL or middle heat range. I did not know that the fan came on if you turned on the AC system. That was news to me! THANK YOU very much. I thought I was loosing my mind with that.
Now, the fan used to run a few seconds on its own with the key off after a long drive. This I took to be normal operation. At this point I just want it to run at normal or middle of the temp gauge without having the AC on to turn the fan on.
Wish me luck tomorrow.
