    TJ Mitsubishi Magna overheating

    Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Advice Mitsubishi Magna Mitsubishi Magna Advice Mitsubishi Magna 2000 Mitsubishi Magna 2001 Mitsubishi Magna 2002 Mitsubishi Magna 2003 Mitsubishi Magna 2004

    The fan on my TJ Mitsubishi Magna is not working and although everyone tells me the car is not overheating and the gauge sits where it should the motor gets so hot you can't touch the engine mounts. I have never seen a motor get so hot when everything says it isn't hot. I know they are supposed to get hot, but you can smell this one burning. What do you think?

    If it smells like it's burning then it is probably overheating. Don't take too much notice of the gauge, because it could be faulty. You need to find out why the fan isn't working, which could be because of a wiring issue, a blown fuse, or a burnt-out electric motor, and get it fixed.
