This just started doing this today. I recently installed a triple gauge pillar last weekend. I let the car idle, and according to the new water temp gauge, at idle, the car will reach up to 240°! I noticed the fans never come on as the temp climbs and climbs

Here is the jist of my gauge intall. Tapped into violet signal wire from front passenger oxy sensor. Tapped into green wire in dimmer switch to dim gauge lights. Tapped into "Gauges" fuse plug for gauge power wires. Grounded gauges on metal triangle thing under steering column. One gauge sender from tranny drain plug, one from plug above starter in block(water temp), and the other is from the violet wire mentioned above. That's all the wiring that was done.

I have the stock thermo, and stock programming...

Now, using this info, why won't my cooling fans turn on??? Is it possible I blew a fuse. The fans fuses actually look like circuit breakers. What do I need to do to check them... Any other ideas like possible loose connections?

Thanks a lot!

If you read my post right you would see that I installed my own temp sender, and the tapping was for the A/F ratio gauge, which has nothing to do with the fans not turning on.

you did???? I thought you said you taped into the factory sender......


ok...my bad .....then it has to be a fuse....that or your gauge is off and your actually not at the turn on temp yet....did you try turning the AC on to force the fans to turn on?

sorry about that

Ok, the fans turn on, but I think at the wrong temp. I will check to make sure.

if you unplugged the factory water temp sender i believe that doesnt turn the fans on. fans turn on by water temp.
