So what if, when open loop kicks in, my fans are always on, but my gauge doesn't work :\ I replaced the pump one, still does it. I do think my TStat is stuck closed, since the coolant that leaked out from the sensor was greenish and in my radiator is brown, yuck brown, as in I"M GETTING A COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSH!
So yea, could it be that IF my TStat is stuck closed, my ****** running warm enough to kick the fans on, even if it's not circulating? (Which I've not blown anything, and it runs good) I'm confused :\ We'll see after the flush.
