Crown Overheating Electric Fan Issue

Guys, I'm pulling my hair out! My 2022 Toyota Crown with a gasoline engine is giving me fits. It's overheating like crazy! The mileage is 147415 km. I suspect it's the electric fan not kicking in, probably a bad connection somewhere. Anyone else seen this?

Overheating is never good! Could be a few things, but if you suspect the fan, have you checked the fuse? It's like a tiny circuit breaker for the fan's electric motor. If that's blown, the fan won't get any power. Also, is the fan completely dead, or does it sometimes work?

Good call on the fuse, I'll check that first thing. If the fuse is okay, how can I tell if it's really a bad connection or something else entirely? Is there a way to test the electric fan motor itself?

If the fuse is fine, then testing the motor directly is a good idea, but can be tricky. Honestly, at that point, unless you're super comfortable with auto electrics, it might be worth a trip to a workshop. They can properly diagnose the issue. The connection could be anywhere in the circuit like a bad wire in the harness. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack!

You were spot on! Took it to a shop, and it turned out to be a dodgy plug on the fan motor, just like I suspected. 95€ later, and she's running cool as a cucumber. Thanks for the advice!
