How come battery wont stay charged up
Well, the alernaotr may not be good. If the abtytery voltage is below 12.5V when thenigne uis running, it is not being charged adequately. If it is, your car has an electrical load that depletes the battery when the engine is not running. Could be as simple as a light bulb staying on for some reason.
I have a 2000 Mitsubishi eclipse and my radiator fans run from startup a few minutes after shut off.It affects heat until higher rpms.i need better heat and quicker.
Here are a couple of thoughts on this problem:
1. Just for fun and giggles, it might be a good idea to have the thermostat checked one more time. I know it is a new thermostat but you never known if a thermostat may have failed even right out of the box. It is possible that thermostat could be shot, even thought it was new. I know it is a long-shot, but it never hurts to give it a try.
2. Check the fan sensors. The Eclipse has used an electric, rather than mechanical, fan for some time. It is possible over time that the start and stop sensors can go out of tune and that they can raise your fan's run rate on starting, cruising and idling. In this case, the mechanic is right in that the higher speed is causing the coolant to be cooled off more quickly than it should and the result is that your vehicle's cooling system is causing problems for your Eclipse's heater sensors. If the sensors don't get information that the coolant flowing through their portion of the cooling system isn't the right temperature then the heater won't kick off and all that will happen is that the heater will wait until it senses the coolant is the right temperature.
