    Ok I have a question about my quad. I was hauling something on the rear rack and it loosened the radiator cap and radiator fluid leaked out. I heard it and noticed the smoke. I stopped and twisted it back on. Anyways I drove it back to the truck and refilled the radiator fluid before the next time I drove the quad. The quad has run fine after the event. The only thing I noticed is the cooling fan doesn't come on and now the temp light comes on occasionally with no action from the fan. I let it idle and stop the engine. I located the fuse associated with the fan and it's not blown. Anyways I want to try and fix this stuff on my own, but I don't know what to work on next. I’m just looking for what could be the problem. If anyone has any info on this any help is appreciated. Thanks
    If is matters my quad is a 2004 Bombardier quest 650.

    Sometimes fuses don't look blown but are. You need to check it with a multimeter to be sure, or just swap it out.

    Good idea, they are cheap also. I'll try that. All are probably original so it's time anyways. Thanks

    Might have an air pocket in the cooling system also.

    I took the fan off hot wired it and it spins, i did change the relay and it didn't work. I'm thinking of just hard wiring it to a switch and turning in on manually.
