[Haolerot]

i have a carb 88 and my fans no work:mad: all of the fuses are still good and i dont know much about it....but i dont think the fans have worked ever since i had the car.....but i need to know how to get them workin cause its always hot over here......

try and bypass the sensor on the radiator... make sure your radiator has fluid also. Anyways there are 2 wires coming off the thermal switch on the radiator... just cut the wires or use a jumper and connect the two wires together.

just replace the sensor on the bottom of the radiator.

how do i replace th sensor??? and how much will it cost...pictures???

before you replace anything do what A20A1 suggested. unplug the fans and use a jump wire and hook directly to the battery. if the fans don't work your fans are bad

wheres the plugs for the fans at? under the radiator?

[dews89blkaccord]

Trace the wires coming off the fan motors.

Botttom of the radiator. Just unplug it and jump it. If your fans work, then change the switch. If the fans don't work, then you need a new one.

ok....on friday night i was racing my friend and when we finished i got out of the car and was cruzing with my friend...i left my car running....then my all of my friends were like..brah your engine stay smoking....and so i told them ya it always does......but then i heard the FANS COME ON!!!! they only came on for 10 seconds but they still came on.....im thinkin of what i need to change...do i need new coolant or a thermostat...because it sayin my car isnt that hot, but its bakin under the hood.....

have you checked your coolant level?... if there is no coolant then the temp guage wil always say it's colder then it actually is.

You seriously will kill your car if you continue to race or drive for that matter with a coolant problem.

the thermostats are cheap and fairly easy to replace... buy the gasket that goes with the thermostat as well.
