I checked the engine fan clutch and it appears to be operating OK as best I can tell. What I did notice however is that the aux cooling fan was not running. I checked the fuse which was OK. Is there a relay or some other thing to check to determine why the aux cooling fan is not running?

Thanks

Depending on the year there are several switches that are responsible for turning on the fan(s). The engine shouldn't overheat if the t/stat, fan clutch & radiator are in good condition.

If you have had the thermostat replaced and it still overheats, you should look toward the radiator for partial clogging.
