Engine Cooling problem
1994 Saturn SC2 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 200K miles

Got the raidiator replaced today. Mechanics can't get the fans to work. Is that a computer chip problem or a sensor problem? Will this be super duper expensive to get repaired?

Thanks!!!!

ok, well you will need to supply 12 v power to the fan motor to ensure the motor itself is working. if the fan motor is working then it is just a faulty engine coolant temp. sensor needing replaced.

yes, just keep an eye on the temp. gauge and do not allow engine to overheat.
