Anyways, so i replaced the upper and lower hose, t-stat, t-stat sensor (the one that turns on the fan), and flush all the coolant/bleed.

Everything is OEM, but the temp gauge never pass half. Let the engine idle for 15-20 mins, and no fan turns on. What is the deal on this issue?

Note:
The upper and lower hose gets hose in 20 mins.

- Mon Sep 07, 2009 8:34 pm #142235 your sure its not kicking on when you drive? maybe just idle isn't getting it hot enough?? and check all wire connections.

- Mon Sep 07, 2009 8:55 pm #142237 I'm not sure yet during driving after the new replacement part. But will report back.

I did do the paper clip to see if the fan turns on, and it does.

So far, everything is good.

- Thu Sep 10, 2009 6:59 am #142778 Did you check the rad fan fuse ? This was the problem for me, and sounds like yours

you can test to see if the fan even works by jumping the temp sensor wires

All are good, the fan turns on.

And yup, test the fan by using the paper clip method before switching out the t-stat sensor.

Thank you All
