Couple days ago while riding the HM Trails in WV while climbing back up the mountain my fan locked up and the engine started to overheat. Tried to hard wore the fan and it was completely shot. Went to the local Advance Auto and picked up an universal 12" fan. Everything worked great except yesterday while riding the same trails at almost same point the same thing happened. Once we got back to camp I started it up and let it get to temperature just to see what would happen and the fan came on through a few cycles just as it normally would. Any suggestions on what’s going on? Possibility the electric fans have a kill switch in the motor once they get too hot?
