Fuse - For the radiator to work well, the fuse for the radiator fan must be intact. If it has an issue, it should be replaced for the radiator fan to work well.

Fan wires- If the engine is heating but the fan is not working, it's important to first check the fan wires. Check if there is current present using a voltmeter. If the current fails, check both wires and fan relay to determine if replacement is necessary.

Temperature sensor- Your fan will fail to come on if the temperature sensor is not working because the fan will be unable to know when temperatures are high enough necessitating ventilation.

Coolant level- The coolant level should be between the maximum and minimum levels but towards the maximum to avoid possible overheating.

Fan clutch- It holds the radiator fan to the engine and makes it turn. The springs within the clutch might need replacement when they wear or corrode over the years.
