I've done the obligatory forum search, and although I've learned new things today, I just can't find the answer to my problem.
Just finished putting another engine in my 2005 ZX5. Everything was working beautifully when I started, besides the engine of course, but now I have a couple of issues I need some help with:
The new engine started right up, and after adjusting the fluids and such, everything seemed fine, except the radiator fans are constantly on. They turn on when the motor starts, and turn off when the motor is off. I'm confused as to why this would happen. It appears the pump is working fine, and the temperature gauge is well within its' range.
Also, the o/d light on my transmission is flashing yellow. The transmission has high miles, but the transmission was working great when I parked the car to change the engine. When I first test drove the car, it shifted hard into 2nd, then worked fine for about 3 miles, the whole time the o/d light was flashing yellow. At that point, the transmission shifted out of high, and went into the gear that has the engine doing around 3000rpm at 60mph. The transmission is shifting hard, but pulls good with no slipping, and won't go into o/d.
The car did sit for 5 weeks with the battery out of it, while I worked on it in my spare time (I have little free time to play with it, working 2 jobs and all) and I did have a little transmission fluid leakage from the passenger side drive axle while maneuvering the engine, but I replaced that.
Are there wires, or vacuum lines, going to the transmission I may have disconnected accidentally? Does the computer need "reset" somehow?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
