i have an 05 cavy with 97xxxx miles and it has just recently started to overheat, i have changed the thermostat and the coolant and it still overheats, jumping up to 197-200 degrees, i think the problem is that the fan isnt kicking on at all other than when i turn my ac on, oh and yes my ac is all good it still blows cold and hot when its suppose to, so how do i go about checking and servicing it further so i may be able to fix it?

Try jumping the relay on the fan and see if it turns on?
Try using a light tester to see if there is power to the fan?
whenever i turn my ac on i have pulled the relay and the fan speed will decrease and increase once i put it back in, and i really have no clue as to how to jump the relay. oh and have noticed that my fan doesnt run after i shut it off like it used to anymore.

Check the coolant temp sensor.
Oh btw 197-200 is normal temp actually. The fan kick on temp is set to 224 degrees so it won't kick in till past 200.
holy @!#$, my car has never gotten up past 197, it has always sat at 195 or lower.

Thats what I was thinking. In winter here in FL my average temp (while moving) is around 190. In summer w the AC on and in traffic in goes to maybe 205.
