Default Solved my overheating problem

UPDATE: Solved the overheating issue. I replaced the lower rad hose that blew so I could drive my car in the meantime before I order a complete hose kit. While underneath, I removed the 2 fan switches, and cleaned them and their connections with electrical contact cleaner. I also cleaned the three way switch on the radiator below the upper hose connection. When I test drove it I came back and opened the hood and heard a strange sound: it was my cooling fan! One of the fans is quite noisy, and I had NEVER heard this sound before- one or both of my fans was not working. So, if you are having any cooling issues- check those fans- may be as simple as cleaning the connections!

I'm sure that's a relief.

I was driving around on only one fan for I don't know how long. The noise from the one running fan covered up the lack of noise from the other fan. It wasn't until I was doing another project I noticed only one going. Anyway it was just the fuse, I didn't even know there was fuse for each.
