My engine runs hot, but the temperature gauge is stuck on normal. Is this the reason my cooling fan won't come on? Do I need to fix the temp gauge so it will show HOT when engine is hot?


I have replaced the CCRM, PCM, sensors, thermostat and heater core already. mY POCKETBOOK IS GETTING LOW. pLEASE help!

the coolant temp sensor has nothing to do with the fans turning on.

how you sure its running hot when the other guage shows normal?

what you might want to check the the coolant temperature switch and the relay to make sure those are in working order.
