Re: rad fans stay on
Your fan sensor . I believe it is near the bottom of the radiator . You don't have the climate control on or the defroster right

Re: rad fans stay on
It was an 83 GL wagon. You call it a sensor or a what ever It is in the coolant and when it gets hot it turns the fan on . So chastise me for calling a FAN sensor .I stand corrected it is a coolant temp. sensor

Re: rad fans stay on
Coolant temp sensor is a possibility.

Re: rad fans stay on
i second that. after moving around stuff in the engine bay my fans were staying on and it turned out to be the coolant sensor connector had come off.

Re: rad fans stay on
No, there is one for the ECU which controls the fans and the air/fuel mixture, etc. and there is one for the gauge cluster.
