Fans run all the time and temp gauge does not move


Recommended Posts

First, make sure the defrost is off. (fan runs anytime Defrost is on)

 

If it still does same thing,

Sounds like the temp sensor is unplugged.

 

Check on the top of the engine, passenger side, under the rear of the manifold.

 

Triangular shaped connector with 3 pins.

Sorry, forgot to add that point that the defroster is off. I think I was on the right sensor earlier today. It is plugged in. I unplugged and re-connected to make it it was making a good connection. There was two wires going to it and I think one was white with blue trace and the other was a yellowish color. Does that sound right? That was one thing I checked over because it made sense that something was left unplugged but I can't find it!

It is easy to "flip" the triangle shape connector "upside down" and sill have it connected with a "positive" click.

 

When this is done it flips the power wire over to the "fan on" pin and will keep the fans on all the time.

 

Unplug it and flip it back over. This time you should see that it lines up with a grove and hear a positive/louder click and not be able to pull it off the sensor like you could when it was flipped upside down.

 

Try that and report back.
