Thread: Temperature Problems

Trace, as in checking to make sure that none of them are frayed or ripped out or anything? No I didn't.

And the fans have three relays. The two that were the same size I was able to swap. The third, I don't know about.

Well i'd start there. see if you cant pick up a new relay like that and let us know.

I'm having this same issue with my 06 grand prix. Both fans only work with a/c on. I have replaced all the relays and new stat. I'll be replacing my temp sensor in am but after looking at your post my spirits are lowered. I checked the wiring aswell. No freys or messed up wiring. GRRRRRRRRRR.
Frustrated big time. I'm sure somebody had this same issue and will help us out.

Don't count on it. I've had this problem for I think about seven months now. I tried everything people suggested with no results, and eventually people just stopped replying. Both in the forums and in PMs.

when you did the intake gasket did you notice if the coolant holes were plugged and was the coolant used dex cool? I've read that air interacts with it and make sludge build up in your system. I have an 06 with only 43,000 and mine started to give wierd temp signes. Looked at my rad cap and damn 1/2 inch of sludge was on the bottom of it. Did a good flush used a super cleaner and fiiled up with non dex-cool and so far all is good.

It is dex cool, but it's in really good shape. The coolant passages are fine. The cooling system works great when the car is moving, but it's sitting in traffic when there is no air flow that is the problem. Even worse than sitting is climbing hills at low speeds...

I have the same problem here...my fans will only run when the air conditioner is on and the car is in park...they will not work when the car is driving period...what in the hell is going on here?? i have an 04 gt1...
