Can you tell me where the sensor is that turns the cooling fans on when the car warms up? The car will over heat because the fans won't come on. There are two fans so I don't think it is the fan motors.

Thank you

Hi cwenger,

The fan switch ( thermosensor ) is attached to the lower part of the radiator. It is blocked from view by the fan shrouds and if you go under the vehicle, it would be easier to see.
