Probably a temp sensor for your fan(s).
Sensor is likely bad
Check your radiator fan switch and your fan switch coolant sensor .
No, the knock sensor helps the engine computer control ignition timing. The water pump pumps coolant through the engine, heater, and radiator.
The radiator fan will start to work once your engine reaches a certain operating temperature.
Could be a bad fuse Could be a bad temp sensor Could be a bad relay
hey there thanks for any help, just bought a nissan primera 1990, both radiator fans dont work and im told the sensor may need changing, does anyone know where i can locate it to replace?
A hot radiator releases excess coolant through the spring-loaded cap in to the reservoir, and when cooled the partial vacuum created by cooled radiator pulls it back in. A reservoir should be only about 1/4 full cold on a system that uses a radiator cap, some cars have a pressurized cap on reservoir and no cap on radiator
Make sure your boiler (probably in the basement) has water in the glass vial in the front of the unit. For each radiator to work the valve for that respective radiator must be open.(looks like a water knob attached to the pipe leading to the radiator.) For maximum efficiency the vent must be the right size but it was probably installed with the unit propperly.
When the impact of the rain hits the windshield it sends a shock wave throught the windshield that is then picked up by an adhesive sensor attached to the windshield, which in turn activates the windshield wiper relay.
If radiator cooling fan it turns on only when temperature sensor reaches temp needed to cool car, then when enough cooling takes place, it gets told by sensor to turn off.
Follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine. Where the hose is attached at the engine is the thermostat housing. Drain some coolant from the radiator thru the petcock, remove upper radiator hose from thermostat housing, remove thermostat housing then remove the thermostat. On the Express van you will probably need to remove the air filter assembly to gain room to work.
Depending on vehicle, there are usually plugs probably about a 3/8 inch hole in the sides of the block. On some vehicles there may be one on the head. You may be able to put a T at the factory temp sensor site. SOme cars have a plug in the tank of the radiator.
