One time when i done one of these when i put the fan shroud back in, The bottom alignment pin of the shroud did not make it back in the hole and when i started to drive it, the shroud blew against the fan so the fan would not turn.
You can see if from under neath i believe.
Check that and let me know.

I checked the plug and the pin is okay but the fan turns on ,runs briefly and then Shuts off and doesnt kick back on and the gauges dont show any sign they just stay around 210

Did it set a code? Check engine light come on? If there was an issue with the fan, It should set a code P0495 i think.
You may just have an air pocket in the system.

This is the video of the fan that isn't acting properly, but also what should I do If there is an air pocket in the system?

Im gonna take it to my mechanic and have him put a new one on im done for now with the DIY projects.Most of the things that go wrong with my trailblazer i have fixed my self but im gonna leave this one to him. I'll let you guys know what happens within the next couple of days and hopefully this will end up a solved thread thanks for all the help and brainstorming

So i decided to fix the fan clutch myself and then i broke the radiator and also found out my thermostat was faulty.So i took it to a mechanic and it cost me 340 to replace the radiator and the thermostat. So now i have replaced the water pump,thermostat,radiator,fan clutch,gas cap and am getting set of 4 new tires which will run me about 500,So hopefully nothing else goes wrong anytime soon cause im am done for now.Figured i'd update you guys about the progress.
