SOURCE: 2001 JEEP ..RADIATOR IS COLD
The water temp is 195-210 degrees..the hoses are hot that go into the radiator..but the radiator itself is still cold?
SOURCE: Over heating when sitting at idle for a short while
It sounds like it may be your electric cooling fan. When the car is sitting idling does the fan behind the radiator ever come on? If not then this is your problem. Your car doesn't overheat when it moving because you're passing air through the radiator with the movement of the car. The problem could be the fan itself, the fan relay, or a temperature sensor.
SOURCE: Thermastate and high heat
Yes i would check if your radiator fin turns on when the engine gets warm.
Most likely thats the cause.
SOURCE: warning light comes on showing a radiator
coolant temp sensor is probably bad but make sure that the water level is above the sensor if not it will trip the light.
