i have a 96 sable here is the problem my temp gage rises when i am parked or idling when im driving its fine ive checked the fuse it was fine the fan is working anyone have any ideas
|
Is it a 3.0 12v or 24v. ?
|
i think its a 3.0
|
12 or 24 valve?
|
its a 12 valve
|
Ok, you may have a dirty radiator try cleaning the fins out with a hose. If that does not work the cooling system passages may be clogged and need to be professionally cleand and possibly a by pass hose will need to be added to the cooling system. |
the radiater fluid is filthy so i guess that is the problem
|
I would definatly take it to a dealer and have it flushed and check for the possible by pass hose then |
cant i flush it myself
|
You can do that but if the vehicle needs that by pass hose the concern will return after sometime.
|
i dont think its the by pass hose i think its because its so durty its like a light brown with sh*t floating in it NOT OIL
|
yeah then just try the flush and see what happens |
May be the thermastat needs to be replaced? |
First of all, what fuse did you check? Second, the fan may be working but it is an electric fan. I would replace the coolant temp sensor. That will ensure the fan starts and stops at the proper temps. You could always run a straight wire to a toggle switch inside your car and when you come to alight or traffic you can turn the fan on and off yourself. Stay cool.

Are you still running into problems with this? If not, what was your final fix?
