ok got the car running after sanding some of the rust off the ground under driver side headlight. Starts right up, but now I have a new issue which im hoping is an easy fix. As soon as i turn the key, the fans behind the radiator/front of engine ramp up high and my coolant temp when i start it says ---

I'm on my way to the auto parts store to pick up a few new relays for the fuse box under the hood. I'll swap out some of those that i think may be bad and report back.

BTW I did some relay swamping in that box to make sure my crank relays were good. Could be i swapped a bad relay in the cool/fan spot

Bought all new relays for the crank/run spot in the engine fuse box and she's running like a champ! Glad this was such an easy fix, even though it was time consuming. Total fix cost was roughly $58
