i just replaced the thermostat on my 318i and i was checking around, and i realized the auxilary fan in front of the AC condensor never came on. i turned on the AC and nothing still doesnt come on. Do i need to replace it or is there a relay, fuse or sensor i should check

thanks

to tell you the truth i think you only have to remove the plaastic ring in front of the tumbler, if you look at the tumbler youll see a small hole next to the key hole, you turn the key two clicks, put in the small hole the opened bobby pin, turn the pin and pull out on tumbler, and there you have it the tumbler is in your hand

nevermind i got the tumbler out without taking out the whole assembly. i used one of my wifes bobby pins, stuck it in a little hole right beside the keyhole and you slightly turn it and it just pops out

i imagine if the radiator stays cool the coolant isnt circulating, correct me if im wrong. i dont think its the fan clutch, it wouldnt cause the radiator to stay cool even while its really hot, again correct me if im wrong. i may have to replace all coolant components

my 318 seems to overheat, i checked the radiator and the radiator was cold, i also checked the hoses, and the top hose was hotter than the bottom one, a friend told me it could be the thermostat, or the waterpump, or even the radiator is cloged, i just wanted to see what some of you guys thought
