I have a 1995 Mitsubishi expo on the radiator it has two fans neither one spin. My husband turned the car on the other day and left it on for a good whiles and still neither one kicked in. He also noticed a small crack above the radiator which probably busted when I was driving it. Does anyone know what I should do? Should I just buy a whole new radiator which will cost me $159.99 or just get a new car?

Assuming the car did not really overheat, which can warp the aluminum head, damage the valves, and blow the head gasket, I would replace the radiator. Replacing a radiator, by itself, is no big deal. The radiator crack you described is typical on Japanese cars around 150,000 miles.

One fan goes to the radiator, while the other goes to the A/C condenser.
