Overheating after parked for months
All;
I’ve seen several people ask about this, found a simple thing to check.
If your Thirdgen has been sitting for awhile, and suddenly after bringing it out of storage wants to run hot, pull the radiator bracket, and shine a flashlight into the space between the radiator, and A/C condenser.
Just discovered a mouse nest in mine that covered nearly half of the radiator, and was done so neatly, I never knew it was there until I replaced my leaking radiator this morning.
