Want this question answered?
with my 92 corvette the temp while driving is usually between 198 and 207.---but when stopped the temp goes up to 228 then the electric fan should kick on. i researched the same stuff--- some say of a way to convert the temp sensor to kick the fan on at a cooler temp---don't know---peace
Do you have the electric and clutch fan. If so, the electric fan only starts on demand, or when the a/c is turned on. The electric fan is controlled by a temp. sensor for the rad. Have the connection checked, and even you can change the temp. sensor.
it usually turns on around 200 degrees
180-200 F
Check the coolant temp sensor, or just replace it if you have the money to burn.
There is no "switch" per say for the fan...It can not be turned on manually. It is hooked to a relay in the PDC ( fuse box under the hood). When the water temp reaches a certain temp...the PCM turns it on.
First, un plug the wire at the fan, jump the wire and see if the fan does work. If it does, trace the wire back to the sensor, there are only 2 sensors, 1 for temp gauge, and 1 for the fan.
mine kick on around 230 temp.
electric fans are run by a sensor that turns it on when the engine has reached a certain temp. if the engine isn't hot enough or isn't workin hard enough the fan wont kick on
Generally it's temp controlled so only comes on when hot. Unrelated to air conditioning. Many will run even if car off if temp calls for
It should range from 195 to 230 and any thing above that is to high!
it should be located on the engine block under the exhaust manifold. on the drivers side
