96 Cobra temp not reading right fan not coming on

Mystic1688 · Nov 27, 2014

Just replaced the T stat and spent about an hour burping the system, started to drive it to town and the temp gauge was not moving just staying at O in normal stopped popped the hood fan was not on either engine was warming up unplugged the fan switch it kicked on, wtf.

So I kind of got lost at the end there of what you were saying - so what happened with the fan? It wasn't on but then came on?

I unplugged it just so the fan would turn on with it plugged up nothing.. plus the temp gauge is not reading right

Sensors go bad.... ID check that first I can't recall how much I paid I think it was under 20$

Is it common for both to go out at the same time?

I think it was just a coincidence. You can use an ohm meter and test the sensor. I bet if you touch each of the leads to a separate terminal on the sensor, it'll show "OL".

There are two sensors on the crossover coolant tube. One is for the temp gauge inside the car and other is for PCM. If you are not seeing correct temp in vehicle its the sensor with r/w y/r wires according to schematic I have. If the fan is not coming on it could be other sensor that sends signal to PCM or the CCRM could be going bad. The CCRM has all the relays for AC clutch plus low speed and high speed fan control. If you google CCRM you will find many troubleshooting guides.
