ok.. because my mechanic told me the other way around... my A/C is working fine, and my car is not overheating. It stays below the middle.

facing the car, the fan that is broken is on the right side (the driver side, in front of the *header*), i have never seen this fan work, also if i try to spin it it makes this hissing/crackling noise.

thanks for the info cronic. btw, how is the car going? is it running right yet?
