Radiator temps can vary by engine brand and size. The temps range from 160 degrees up to 195 degrees for passenger vehicles.
A thermoswitch is the device by the radiator, that switches on the fan as soon as the engine/ radiator reaches a set temperature
its under the radiator on the left hand side
Should be located at the rear of the radiator approx. 1/3 from the top unscrew to replace
radiator bluesWhen the water runs out of the radiator, it either means that the radiator is cracked, which means that its building steam inside your radiator. building the steam inside your radiator raises the temperature of your engine causing it to overheat and steam up on you.Depending upon where the water is coming from, the solution could be as simple as tightening or replacing the radiator cap, or tightening or replacing the drain plug,or tightening hose clamps. Check those things before proceeding.
I don't own a Pontiac Grand Am but perhaps through these steps that I will list down, you can get some idea about the process. Good luck!Here it is: The radiator cools and stores the engine coolant. It is usually mounted on the front of the engine compartment. These are the things that you should have: New Radiator Combination Wrench Set Screwdriver Flashlight Cooling System Pressure Tester Needle Nose Pliers Socket and Ratchet Set 3/8 in. Drive Ratchet 1. With the engine off and cold, open the hood and locate the vehicle's radiator. 2. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. 3. Remove the radiator cap. 4. Place a drain pan under the radiator. Remove the drain plug or remove the lower radiator hose to drain the cooling system. 5. Remove the upper radiator hose. 6. Remove the radiator fan shroud or remove the electric cooling fan assembly. 7. Remove the radiator. 8. Install the new or repaired radiator. Make sure it is aligned. 9. Install the lower radiator hose and clamp. 10. Install the radiator fan shroud or electric cooling fan assembly. 11. Install the upper radiator hose and clamp. 12. Fill the radiator and radiator reservoir with a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water. 13. Install the radiator pressure tester and check for additional leaks. 14. Reinstall the radiator cap and negative battery cable. Start the engine. 15. Monitor the engine temperature. 16. Road test the vehicle, maintaining supervision over the temperature gauge. 17. Verify repair by inspecting for leaks or overheating.
The answer is that if your water temperature is to high that is when your cars radiator is about to die.
The symbol used on the Renault Scenic for a problem with the radiator is a thermometer. There should also be a temperature gauge on the dash that shows the current temperature of the radiator fluid.
Try replacing the radiator fuse relay
An object will normally be a net radiator of energy when its temperature is higher than its surroundings. This means that it will emit more energy as heat than it absorbs from its environment, resulting in a decrease in temperature over time.
It is in the front of the radiator area clipped to the radiator support.
The coolant temperature is measured by the sensor that is screwed in to the engine next to where the upper radiator hose attaches.
The temperature of the water will vary on any vehicle with speed, including on the Taurus. The more an engine runs, the higher the water temperature will be in the radiator. If the radiator is overheating, then there could be a malfunction with a temperature sensor, a leaky hose, or damage to the radiator.

I check radiator fan, and relays and they are good, what can be a problem when my car reaches temperature to open termostat radiator fan does not work
In front of the radiator
The coolant temperature sensor is the two wire sensor near to where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine. The outside/ambient temperature sensor is behind the front bumper, in front of the radiator.
The radiator sensor in a Toyota Echo is typically located near the radiator itself, often positioned on the radiator or in the upper or lower radiator hose. This sensor monitors the temperature of the coolant to help regulate the engine's temperature. If you need to access it, make sure the engine is cool and follow the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions.
