My temp sensor has been replaced and the fuse under the hood is fine, but the fan does not come on when it should. I installed a manual fan switch and wired it to the ECU, but the fan will only come on 50% of the time. This morning, I turned the key to the on position, hit the fan switch and the fan came on. I drove 20 miles, parked for 2 hours, turned the key and switch on and nothing. The car started to slowly heating up as soon as I hit traffic on the freeway. Is it possible that my fan motor is going out, overheats and shuts itself off? Has anybody else had this issue. ('02 GT)

Thanks

It has gone to the top of the temp gauge once (stock and autometer gauges) and I had to pull into a parkinglot for about an hour to let it cool down since the fan does not come on.
