overheating

[BroOklyn]

well i started working on my project car (1993 ATX) to get it back in shape and running. Car started up today and i let it run for like an 1 hr and noticed that it was overheating. The fans wont kick in. Any ideas on what i should do or what i should check? Any suggestions would help. Thanks alot

was the ac off? the fans should turn on when the ac is on so you can start your testing there

Check your car for codes..

Check codes here!

While you're checking the car for codes, the fans should turn on. If not, either the fans themselves are toast, the wiring to the fans is toast, or the CCRM (that flat looking box thingy mounted to the driver's side of the front radiator support with a big "J" on it) has pooped.

well the car doesnt have ac.. its removed.. and i cant get it checked for codes cause autozone dont have the machine for it. I wouldnt know how to do it myself anyway.

checking the codes is VERY EASY go on the site Vnuk posted above grab a paper clip pen/pencil and paper jot down the codes and go look them up on that same site you cannot mess it up it's fool proof. All you have to do is follow the directions on the site.
