yes...fisrst you need to check if the temp sensor is working. If this has an electric fan, check the relay and the fan motors.
or
when my 97 4.6 v8 was overheating, it was leaking coolant from the head gaskets.
I dont understand, is your car overheating or do you think your switch is overheating? Switches do not overheat, if they become hot to the touch there is a grounding problem which would have most likely blown a fuse at some point.
switch off the system
where is backup switch located on a 63 thunderbird
No.No.
Overheating at the Fan Switch merges contacts inside. Replace the switch and the problem will go away.
No, by the time the engine stops from overheating, it's probably destroyed.
Four rivets hold the regulator asm on the door panel but the switch is more than likely the problem.
If you have a problem with the thermal switch, your fans will not come on at temperatures that will switch the fans to on in order to cool down the engine temperature. If you have a problem with the switch (faulty, burnt out), the only way to fix it is to replace it.
If you are referring to the inertia switch, it is in the trunk.
the fan is controlled by sensors and a switch and comes on if the coolant is too hot - mostly after you cut the engine off or in slow traffic. If you are overheating in traffic and it doesn't come on somebody has to check the circuits out to find the problem.
Most likely it is a bad thermostat. The switch on the radiator fan could also have failed.
Only if the engine is not cranking. Otherwise the problem is engine related.
