Ummmm, Radiator fans run off a temperature switch. Sometimes they put the fan switch and sender for the gauge together so I suppose it could be related. Have you checked to see if the wires are unplugged? Just a thought.
In any vehicle, when the radiator system is working correctly, the temperature gauge needle should be just below the half way mark when up to operating speed and temperature.
A minor increase is normal - however if excessive check:Cooling fan working?Radiator clogged or plugged?Air flow to radiator restricted?Bad radiator cap?
In front of the radiator
It is possible that the temperature gauge has stopped working in a 1992 Tempo due to a blown fuse. It is also possible that the temperature gauge stopped working do to the temperature sensor in the engine having a short.
on the side of the radiator
i just put in a new radiator and now temperature gauge reads high but their are no leaks
The reason for the failure could be a failure in the connection or the gauge itself. Alternatively, the temperature sensor could have failed.
probably warming up...if the temperature goes above the average level, then your radiator might be low on water and coolant or the cooling fan is not working..
You need to check the radiator and be sure it is full. It can be empty and the overflow tank full. If it is full then check and be sure the radiator cooling is working when the engine is at operating temperature.
Temperature gauge not moved and the fan's always are working
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.
