So after extensive googling of the 'net and this forum,I still have yet to find a solution!
My 2006 lancer Ed overheats only after idleing for about 30-40 mins, a little bit faster if I turn A/C on. I checked for fuse problems, but Ive never had any fuses in the spots that shows where they should be on the diagram, as far as relays and things of that sort, what process do I go through to see what's broken, or should I just replace em all

Fuses and relays don't go hand in hand with over heating. Is your fan working? If so, check your coolent cap and oild filler cap for greyish foam---if so, Sounds like you have a blown headgasket if you overheating at idle.

More than likely the culprit is the fan relay. They're notorious for going out. Also your radiator cap could be shot.

Turn on your ac and see if your fans turn on. MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T OVERHEAT! If it starts getting high turn on your heat to the max. You don't want to deal with a warped head.

Keep it simple first and go with what Green_Bandit said

Well see that is the problem I think, the fans don't turn on at all over any timespan after turning on A/C, also I'm not worried about blowing anything...the overheating doesn't start with A/C on for about 30-40mins, I figured it was the relay because I've never had fuses in the spaces in either fuse box

If your fans don't turn on with the ac then it's the fan relay box next to the fans. Dealer or try your luck with a used one at a junkyard.

Did you ever fix your problem with your cooling fans not coming on properly?
