Where is the cooling fan switch on a 91 camaro rs not the fan relays or the coolant temp sensor but the accual cooling fan switch that allows the fan to kick on at around 230 deg?

It's located on the passenger side head. Let me tell you, it's very delicate and breaks easily.

How does an automobile radiator system work?
The radiator consists of cooling fins around tubing which the coolant flows through. A water pump circulates coolant from the radiator through the engine. A smaller radiator around the dashboard makes up the car's heater. An automotive cooling system has 6 basic components; the radiator, coolant/water, pressure cap, expansion tank, thermostat, and the water pump. When an engine is running, the water pump circulates the engine coolant inside the engine. As the engine heats up, the thermostat opens (usually at above 160 degrees), which allows the engine coolant to be pumped into the radiator, through the top radiator hose. The coolant flows through tubes inside the radiator, and is cooled by air passing over the car's grill. The cooled coolant exits the radiator and reenters the engine through the bottom radiator hose. The pressure cap holds the entire cooling system under pressure, which allows the coolant to reach higher temperatures without boiling. The expansion tank holds extra coolant for the system and allows for extra capacity when the coolant expands with the heat.
What is water's function?
Water pumps are belt driven pumps used to circulate engine coolant (50/50 water and antifreeze) through the engine, around the combustion chambers. Passages direct coolant near the intake and exhaust ports & spark plugs. As the engine reaches normal operating temperature, A thermostat opens and allows coolant to flow through the radiator, cooling the coolant, and then returning back to the engine. Tom
If air in cooling system make gauge malfunction?
Yes, you need coolant around the sensor probe to have it function properly.

What is the purpose of the bypass hose?
I will assume that is in an automobile. A bypass hose goes around the thermostat in your cooling system to allow some coolant to flow whenever the engine is running. This prevents to much pressure to be built up in the system, allows for even cooling at start up and even gives you a slight amount of heat when you start the engine. Your heater core is often part of the bypass system in a car. When the engine's thermometer opens the flow of coolant in the car increases this cooling the engine. As the engine cools the thermostat closes slightly and increases the flow through the core and bypass hose.
How many gallons coolant have system refrigeration dodge neon 2001?
The refrigration system or A/C does not contain coolant. It contains refrigrant, and for sure not gallons. It is charged with pounds. The cooling system contains coolant and the normal capacity is around 2 gallons. That is 2 gallons of a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water.
2001 Pontiac Grand Prix indicates to add coolant?
Then add coolant? Being a GM vehicle, they specify Dex-Cool coolant... so, if that's what you're using, use that - don't mix different coolant types. If you're frequently losing coolant, then you have a leak - pressurize the system... you can do this by running the engine until the thermostat opens up (to which end, you can simply inspect for your leak after a long drive), or you you can buy a coolant system pressure tester - they make both penumatic (air powered) and hand pump testers (the former is only good if you have an air compressor to use with it). The latter, you can buy at Harbor Freight for around $80, and it looks like it comes with the adapters you need for your system.. you can probably find similar (albeit more expensive) ones at places like NAPA, Auto Zone, et. al. Pressurize the system to the specified pressure rating of the cooling system, take a flashlight and inspect the cooling system for leaks (including the radiator, resrvoir, and all coolant lines), and also observe to see if the system holds pressure or not - it should). From there, you find and identify your leak, drain your coolant, repair the leak, refill the cooling system, verify there are no more leaks in the cooling system, burp the cooling system, then top the cooling system off with coolant. Hopefully I didn't make that sound too complicated - it's pretty simple stuff, really.
Cooling fan won't come on after replacing coolant and antifreeze vauxhall corsa 1996?
== == The fan usually kicks in at about 96 degrees Celsius. Start it and leave it idling for a while. If it takes ages, you know the coolant is doing its job. If the fan doesn't kick in around the 96 degrees Celsius mark, would indicate dodgy thermostat. The sensor for the cooling fan kicks in at around 192 degrees so could it be that the coolant is now full and fresh the sensor isn't running as hot? If the gauge shows normal I wouldn't be overly concerned but I would keep a eye on the temp gauge.
Why does your coolant boil when run the engine and AC together?
Check to see if the electric cooling fans are coming on, and at the proper temperature. The air conditioning is adding heat to the engine, and your cooling system cannot remove the extra heat. This happens with some cars at idle, when the heat stays around the engine and the coolant is not circulating as quickly. Extra electric fans are installed to deal with this, but they have to be operating properly and you have to have the proper mix of antifreeze as well.
Does the coolant reservoir have to have fluid in it?
yes, or should i say its supposed to. If your cars cooling system uses a expansion tank you have a problem on your hands, coolant should be flowing through the expansion tank on a regular basis(when the thermostat opens or closes). if you have a overflow tank, coolant flows in or out as needed by the systems heating and cooling cycles. If the radiator is low top it off then fill the resivor to the minimum cold level(shown on side of tank). But if your coolant levels are low you should ask yourself where is it going? if you cant find a external leak (around waterpump,bottem of radiator or hoses), then you might have an internal leak.
Why do you have to avoid turning off the engine immediately after long drives?
After parking your car, let the engine cool down with all the accessories turned off (lights, A/C, stereo), but with the engine still running for a few minutes.This allows the engine's cooling system to pump water and coolant in and around the engine, giving it ample time to cool down, and thus helping to prevent added wear and tear. If you shut down the engine immediately, the coolant water will stop circulating around the engine and it will continue to heat up, stressing all its internal parts.
Is rockhopper a moderator?
Rockhopper is a penguin mascot that many penguins around the island beg to find. Sometimes he is a computer that walks around saying pre chosen quotes, and sometimes he is an accual player walking around, dancing, throwing snowball and other things.
