Engine Cooling problem
2002 Other Chrysler Models Automatic 105000 miles

I have a 2002 chrysler 300m and its been overheating. The radiator fan is not working, but i want to know if its the fan or the coolant temperature sensor in the car as i was told. Could there be another problem, also the engine light came on as well. There is no leak that i have noticed. What could it be?

Hi there,

You best get the code looked at first, have a scan done and see what the code is, post it here if you need more information on it, as for the cooling fan, you will need to check the sensor and the fan to be sure , but normally these problems are a faulty sensor.
