Default Some newbie questions

I have a 94' z28, put 600mi on it in the past few weeks, so far so good.

1. Does someone out there make clear front turn signals? one of mine is broken.

2. What turns on the cooling fans? Mine will not turn on. I've checked the fans, relays, all is good. The car was over heated bad before I got it, dont think the coolant temp sensor was replaced, could this be cooked? Is it the one located on the driver side head?

Thanks guys.

As far as clear front lenses yes they make them. I bought mine as a set of front and back. Pretty easy to install too just don't drop the tools in the bumper cover. Pain to get them out. I don't remember where I got them though it was years ago.

The coolant temp sensor turns them on at certain temps. LT1's...I think one comes on first, then the other one later if it keeps getting hotter.

Get a new temp sensor, they're cheap. Unless BOTH fans are broke, the new sensor should fix the problem.

Yup, right above the first spark plug.
