I have an update. My car took a turn for the worse, I was at a drive thru with the defroster on MAX for a couple minutes, I noticed a hint of the coolant smell, then I saw that the service engine light came on and then I noticed that the engine temp was on highest it could be.

I parked it at the nearest street and left it there overnight. But it feels like the damage has been done, the service engine light is still on and the engine has a deep vibration(not that strong but can feel vibration on my gear stick when i normally couldnt) and it kinda makes a quiet squeaking noise as the engine 'cycles' like a squeaky shopping cart.

I'm getting it checked out on friday but it seems like I found the initial cause of problem. The radiator fan is not working and I think that was the cause of my initial problem of this post when one of the hose blew.

If you go back to my other thread I recently replaced my radiator fan control module with an aftermarket one that the dealership installed. I think it never worked after it got installed. The question is, is it my fault for providing a possibly dud control module or is it the dealership fault for not checking that it even worked or installed it wrong? How should I go about bringing this up?
