My sister's POS Pro.. UPDATE! Must read!!
 

Is overheating. I haven't been able to look the car over, but I suspect the fan and/or relay has crapped out. Where is the fan relay on a '94 sohc located??

The cooling fan?...uh..right behind the radiator where it is on almost every other car.

Uhhhh, re read my initial post. I am looking for the fan RELAY, not the fan.

Here dude, this one's especially for you..

that's some pretty funny s#it:D

check the antifreeze level..................

lol..my bad fellas. thx for the definition of the reading disorders. I'm glad u hunted that link down for me. :D

Hey just kidding, sorry, didn't mean to flame!!

About that location for the fan relay......???

I think it's on the drivers side, under the wheel down there somewhere. Of course this stupid chilton's manual isn't specific enough to tell me exactly where it is, it has to cover every model of mazda made over a range of 400 years :rolleyes:

bah..i didn't take it as a flame, i'm the one to blame with my original smart ass comment, lol. i totally missed "relay" and couldn't figure out how someone didn't know where the fan is.

Since the 91-96 Ford Escort is essentially the same as the 90-94 protege, I can only assume that the placement of such components is going to be similar. I have included a cut from the EVTM manual for my 96 Ford Escort. Look in the bottom right corner on the side. You will find a pointer for the fan switch.

EDIT: I don't know why it keeps displaying so small...look hard in the lower right, you'll see a bit of red text, that's your relay.

HTH

Too bad, the resolution goes to hell before I can see detail..

I did a quick upload to my site...check this out:

BWhahahaha-- "ASSHAT" never heard that one before!

Maybe your radiator's leaking, check antifreeze level, and see if the fan runs.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!
 

Sis calls today, "I got the car fixed". So what was the problem?? She says "I don't know". (I'm like WTF??)
Turns out, her husband took her to work on the pretense of taking the car to a friend who can fix it, and hauls ass down to the (gasp!!) Mitsu dealer, and buys her a new Lancer. She comes home later and asks about the POS, and he says it 's in the garage. She goes out and there's this new car w/ balloons and a bigass heart on it. Cool, huh???

UPDATE!! Sister's POS Protege.
 

(short version) Her husband sold it. See other "POS" thread for details.

Re: UPDATE!! Sister's POS Protege.
 

why fix the problem when you can just buy a new car:D

Dude, look at the FIRST post. The original post. Don't be stubborn!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!

No problem, I guess it's the way that the post is located in the "block", It must be easy to overlook the word 'relay'.

Yeah, no sh**t, where the hell IS the relay?!?!?

Mike, thanks for the info, I'm going to have to get the manual.
Don't worry about the fan relay argument, it's really no big deal, everyone overlooks something sometime!!:D
