Radiator Fans

[Akfahad]

Guys, have a question for you. This has happened to me before, but never this long. I can't get my radiator fans to turn off when I remove the key from the ignition. Usually if it happens I'll turn the key to ACC then back off again and it'll go off. This time it won't work. Any reasons why? Any effect on the car if the fans don't turn off after a while?

tempreture sensors malf?

last i remember, my fans never turned on after the car was off...either that or i never paid attention to it.

There are a couple simple test you can do on the engine temp sensor. First at 68 degrees room temp checking with a OHM meter the sensor should show 2500 to 3000 ohms resistance.

Or remove the sensor put in a pot of hot water at 180 degrees F it should read 250 to 300. If either of test are not successful, replace the snesor.

Good luck.

where exactly is the sensor located?

just forward and left of the PCV valve on the left side of your intake manifold as you face the car.

where exactly is the sensor located?
