How does a fan switch work in a car?
The fan only runs when needed to help cool the engine. The engine coolant sensor or a separate engine temperature switch is used to monitor engine temperature. Extra cooling is not needed when an engine is first started, so the fan does not come on until that engine reaches normal operating temperature which is usually from 195 to 215°F. The fan will then cycle on and off as needed to maintain the coolant temperature. So the fan runs mostly at idle or low-speed when the engine is at normal picture.
How do you bring the engine coolant temperature level normal that is low in a 98 ford explorer?

What is the normal water temperature during operation?
The assumption is that you are asking about coolant temperature of an internal combustion engine. Normal temperature is determined by the thermostat. Thermostats are usually somewhere around 185 to 195 degrees F. With a high pressure cap, the coolant shouldn't go much above 225 to 235.
What do you do when your low coolant light comes on in a Chevy silverado?
there is a level sensor in the coolant canister located on the inner fender on the pasanger side under the hood. the radiator overflow line goes to this canister. this has happened to me several times on my 2001 Z-71. all i do is add anti freeze to the hot level, after the engine is at normal operating temperature.
What is the blue coolant light mean?
automotive manufactures are now using lights instead of gauges to save money and make it more user friendly. Blue coolant light in the instrument cluster means that the engine coolant temperature is still not at the normal operating temperature (cold). Normally happens at cold start (when you first the car up in the morning for example) It will turn off once the coolant temperature reaches normal operating temperature. Note: if the coolant light turns red, it means your engine is over heating and you should turn it off before you cause more damage.
