There is no sensors for the cooling fans. there is a relay switch/circuit breaker. It is under the hood in a black box on the passenger side. If after replacing that and fans still continue not to work replace cooling fan motor. First find out which one of the 2 does not work. replace fan motor that is non operational. you must pull the radiator out to do this job. It is not that hard to do just time consuming.
in the boot
On a 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix, the temperature sensor for the radiator cooling fans is typically located near the engine coolant outlet or in the engine block, often near the thermostat housing. This sensor monitors the engine temperature and signals the cooling fans to activate when the temperature reaches a certain threshold. It's important to consult the vehicle's service manual for the exact location and specifications, as there can be variations depending on the engine type.
I too am having the exact same problem!
Yes, a faulty temperature sensor can cause cooling fans to malfunction. If the sensor inaccurately reads the temperature, it may fail to trigger the fans when needed or keep them running unnecessarily. This can lead to overheating or excessive noise and energy consumption. Proper functioning of the temperature sensor is crucial for the effective operation of cooling fans.
Where is the engine cooling fans sensor located on a 2000 Corvette ? Screwed in the driver side cyinder head just behind the Alternator. this is referred to as the temperature sensor. Hope this helps. Mike
The cooling fans on a 2002 Grand Am GT might not be working because of a problem with a fuse. There is also a temperature sensor in the engine that tells the fans when to come on. This sensor may be bad.
The coolant temp sensor is located next to the thermostat housing. The radiator fan relay is located under the aircleaner box, bolted to the "frame rail".
Check the temperature sensor
Most vehicles locate that sensor close to the thermostat housing.
On the back of the right head, hard to get to.
replace the cooling temperature sensor
engine cooling fan should not do this - bad temp sensor likely
