overheating is back

[samneil2000]

I'm thinking the sensor that turns the fan on/off (not the sensor for the guage). When the AC is on, the temp is rock solid where it's supposed to be. I got the sensor from the stealership but it looked different (not as long). There has to be a reason that a longer probe is better!!!

I could be wrong (it happened... once) but I don't think I've ever heard the electric fan come on without the A/C. I wonder if it would help if you wired in a manual switch for that fan to force it on.

Sorry,

This thread has gotten long & it was 2 pages ago, I'm talking about overheating issues on my Eclipse (which has 2 fans). Everyone else is talking VX. Just sharing lessons learned.

BTW, VX fan should be 'OR'. It should come on for engine temp OR with A/C.

I thought I was wrong once... But I was mistaken
