Can anyone offer me some advice about my overheating problem. I have noticed that neither of the the fans work to cool the coolant, in my car. I have tried almost everything unsuccessfully. The only thing I am left to do is take the car to the OEM for repair (reluctantly). I can't find the temperature sending unit after hours of attempts. HELP!

Hi demetrisw, hello everyone,

Welcome to TOC.

Are you sure it's actually overheating? You'll need to discribe your symptoms as accurately as you can, then we can go from there.

About 50% of the possibilities are eliminated with one question. Does the temp go up (or down) at highway speeds, in traffic, or both, and by how much.

We can deal with them after we define the heating problem.

OK. Now we can start at the beginning.

If by OEM, you mean the Dealer, I would take it to a radiator repair shop. Since they are specialists in automotive cooling, you'll get an accurate diagnosis in a couple of minutes.

Someone else will help you with that. Its location will be handy to know, should you ever need to test/replace it.

Regards, Norm
