wow billy your back to your old self of useless post after useless post arent you?



anyways.......... why do you think they arent working?

[Redog]

^ Yeah, they kick on at 195*

[brim]

i posted at gagt about the same problem, temps skyrocketing near the last tick mark with no fans on.

New coolant temp sensor, new relays, fans do kick on but only when the a/c or blower gets triggered.

never did figure out what the issue was with it aside from a computation glitch from the computer

replace the thermostat?

changing your themostat can play a big role in the temp reading, your themostat could be sticking and needs to be replaced causing your fans to burn out since their isn't a good quality thermostat to help. Its easy if you know how to use tools. Its location is near the waterpump, you have the timing chain housing, then the waterpump, then the thermostat housing. Yet to access this you must remove the exhaust manifold or headers to have sufficent room to work. Dont forget to get the themostat gasket!

im going to go take a look at it today since its my day off work, haven't checked the fuses yet but ill do that first

ehh, what can i say, i was in a good mood, and hazmatt made a useless post, but it was funny, so i wanted to let him know it was

alright fuses and relays look good so i guess its the thermostat, i read that link jackal but how long do you think it would take to do (can a beginner do this or take it to the shop) and where can i get a new thermostat for a good price

[Gr1m]

www.pfyc.com get the 180 Tstat, was like 20$ for mine, its easy once you drain out the coolant, thats the hard part with it

[HazMatt24]

like the only thing easier than changing a thermo is like changing the air filter

alright appreciate it guys

[brim]

coolant temp sensor signals the computer which turns the fan on
unless the 4 cyl is any different with a fan switch located elsewhere

otherwise what good is changing the thermostat gonna do even if it wasn't opening? The coolant would heat up quick which should trigger a the switch or which would turn the fans on either way

[dbailey]

Anybody know which fuse or relay is the one(s) for the fans?

[jackal2000]

its probably in the engine bay. look at the fuse box diagram on the under side of the cover.
