Radiator fan not working

On some car, like in my renault, there is an additional fuse box near the engine.
Buy the complete Haynes manual for your car, it will show diagrams and picture of all parts, and eventually tell you which fuses and parts are involved in the radiator fan wiring.
Once you have the diagram you follow the circuit leading to fan and find the fault, it shouldn't be complicate.

Eratic tachometer, then the car suddenly stops running

The tacho is fed from the ignition system, so you should expect a problem with either connections to the ECU or a failed ECU.

What sort of shop do you go to that givesyou a car back with a check light on ?Surely you know it indicated a possible system failure & requires a trip back to the shopto check for codes & continue the diagnose. Thatsounds like it was needed instead of some maintenanceproceedure

Why does my car over heat i have to keep putting water in the raidiator. ant the car also shakes alot

Does the cooling system leak, drip,spew steam from radiator or hoses?Did you let the engine warm up before topping off with distilled water. If you have been using unfiltered tap/garden hose water, you should flush cooling system to get the mineral/rust deposits cleaned out.The thermostat won't open up and cycle the water until it's at a certain temperature. If it still doesn't cycle then maybe your thermostat needs to be replaced, or water pump. If not maybe your engine oil is very low/ has a leak and engine is burning up which would burn off water also. If thats good also, and the fans are not working, check wiring harness that supplys electricity to the fans for bad connection, dirty/ corrosion, check fuse, could be bad switch or wire. Once i had similiar problem and bought a fan from parts store and an electric adjustable thermostat switch and direct wired to battery and strapped it to radiator. So whenever engine got too hot, it came on. It helped alot. You could adjust it with a screwdriver. I'm not a professional mechanic, but have had to figure out similiar problems on other cars before. I would always recommend calling the shop foreman at dealership and asking him before doing anything to avoid unforseen problems with a do it yourself fix. I have gotten alot of very valuable information this way, for free. Hope this helps you out, good luck!
