temp guage

my temp guage is sticking and wont let the electric fan come on. how can i fix this? it will not go over 200

i have a seperate after market guaGE that read 210 and the fan still didnt come on, so my guess is that the guage is keeping the fan from running.


i have a dual fan set up out of a taurus but dont know the year. if i cant get it fixed right then i'ma install these with a toggle switch,

isnt 210 the normal running temp? my aux fan doesnt come on till 215 or above. as far as i can tell there is nothing wrong

hmm. mine used to come on at 200. i'll have to double check. maybe i have a problem or maybe i'm being a dumb@SS today. haha
thanks for trhe fast reply.

The e-fan turns on at about 215-218*. The temp gauge on the dash is not certified, it just shows approximate temps.

Test the e-fan, test or replace the coolant temp sensor and the fan relay. Check for loose, dirty, or damaged wires and connectors.

what year is it? theres two senders. one is for the pcm, one is a sensor for the pcm. this one controls when the fan comes on.

I have been told the stock e-fan comes on at 220*. I would use a non contact thermometer to verify the temp at the thermostat housing.
