What is a Temperature Switch?

what are the symptoms of a bad temperature switch

Remove the temperature control switch wiring harness. Remove the temperature control switch retaining screws. Reverse the process to install the new temperature control switch.

where is temperature switch on 1996 buick regal

to tell wat temperature your engine is.

The engine temperature cooling switch helps regulate the engine's temperature. Teemed with the radiator and incoming air, this keeps the engine at its optimal performance temperature.

There is no such thing as a: temperature switch, on your Ford focus, the coolant temperature sensor is located on the front of the engine.

Thermal switch is to cut off the pilot ignition circuit when the heater temperature is beyond a set temperature. The thermal switch limits the temperature and protects the heaters

Please edit your question to be more specific. Which temperature switch? Radiator fans? Air conditioning? Other?

The temperature sensor you're asking about is a device that detects a temperature above a specific point, usually somewhere around 180F, then closes the contacts of a switch. The switch can directly run a motor or it may be connected to a relay. If the contacts of the temperature sensor switch become damaged they can weld together and the switch will stay on constantly.

there's no switch, it has a temperature sensor.

The fan switch, on your 1986 Chevy, is located on the fan of. The switch will have three wires going to it, from the temperature sensor.

A thermostatic switch works by turning on when the temperature is below a certain point. A thermostatic switch will also turn off when the temperature reaches a certain point. Thermostatic switches are used for space heaters so that they do not overheat.

the coolant temperature switch

It regulates the temperature of the water in the radiator and tells the fan when to switch on to start cooling or to switch off if its too cool. Engines have an optimum running temperature, and the Thermostat helps keep it at that.

There is no temperature control switch for the cooling fans. The PCM Power control module receives input from the temperature sensor on the water outlet housing. The PCM turns on the fans when the temperature reaches 210 degrees through the CCRM.

Some sort of a temperature sensor and a switch

Engine coolant temperature switch/sensor

Bad thermal switch, those could be the thermal switch settings, or it could be reacting to the oil temperature, rather than the coolant temperature.

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.

The engine temperature sensor is under the alternator.

check the blower fuse, temperature sensor on the radiator,switch on the dashboard and the blower relay switch.

If you are talking about the coolant temperature switch that turns the fan on when the coolant reaches the right temperature, then mine it is located in the bottom of the radiator directly under the fan.

Which temperature switch, there are 2. One is the DME temp switch and that one is close to the water inlet at the top of the motor and usually has a blue connector. The dash sensor is located in the middle of the block under the intake manifold and is a single wire sensor.

on the left side on the head in the back of the engine

Do you mean the switch that automatically kicks down the idle when the engine reaches proper temperature to drive and indicates with the red light going out on the dashboard? It is in the thermostat housing I believe.
