deer vs car- Now car is overheating

Unread post by butler424 » Wed Jan 02, 2013 9:37 pm

I hit a deer the day after christmas, i let my car idle after hitting the deer and it got right below the red. Since then if i let my car idle from 2-5 minutes and its up there. The fluid is full. My dad said it could be a coil busted or the fan is stuck. Is that true?

Fan could be stuck- but that would be easy to check by looking under the hood.
Depending on how far it pushed the front of the car, it could also have the lower radiator hose pinched off preventing proper circulation.
