My 2013 F-150 seems to be running hot. The radiator fan will kick on every minute or two and all this has started after driving through some high water. What's going on, is it something electrical?

The fans come on because the Computer tells them to based on cylinder Head temperature or Air Conditioning command. Could you have picked up a bunch of mud or debris in your radiator? Is the "Check Engine" light on?

Check fuse number 12 50 amp. Three passenger side fan will run off three ac pressure switch (full blast) but the driver side will not run at all. Both fans are variable speed and almost never run full on. Hope this helps!

MMy dad has a 1992 Ford straight 6 flare side and I know there is a safety switch on the clutch and he has to slam the clutch almost through the floor to get the truck started. How can he fix this and can it be adjusted. One friend told me and I saw it online another place that you can dissasemble it and wire it back together bypassing the safety switch.
