I was hoping someone can help. I went to get my radiator coolantchanged at a shop and when I came back I knew there was a problembecause my car hood was up. The service guy asked me if I ever had theengine overheating and I said never. He said well, it's overheating atit's not our fault. He said the radiator fan wasn't working. Well, hesaid that if I can prove that it was working before I brought it inthen he'd fix it, otherwise it's broken and it wasn't his fault.So, first, can changing the engine coolant cause the fan to stopworking? Second, since the radiator fan isn't working, any idea how tofix it? I checked the fuses and they're all fine. The service jerkchanged the top hose and it still didn't work.I have a Laredo with an I6 4.0L engine. I drove from San Fran to LA,sat in 100 degree weather and traffic, drove back in 103 degree heat.Filled up with gas numerous times without a problem. Now, since the"coolant change" I can't even stop for gas without the engine temphitting the "overheat" zone.Thanks.Nathan
