Erik sent me a link about how to correct the fans running constantly after removing AC.
The way one guy fixed it was jumping two pins on this plug below  This was on a 5th gen. I was wondering if any of you 6th gen guys not running AC has the fans running full time. I just tryed jumping the plug but the fans still continued running. So, anyone else that could try to jump this plug and post the results that would be a great help. DEF --------------------  I will return one day. |

QUOTE(lagos @ May 14, 2006 - 3:54 PM) [snapback]433891[/snapback] i dont see how AC would make a difference or not. there is a temp sensor on the passengers side of the radiator. you have to plug the 3s harness into it. if the sensor dosnt get pluged in, or is missing, the fans will stay on all the time, as a safetly feature. maybe the ST raditor dosnt have the sensor and thats why your fans are staying on? The absence of a looped circuit does make a difference. It is not just the temp sensor it is several sensors that if not working or disconnected the fans will run. When I removed my a/c, my fans stayed on, so a/c most definately makes a difference. -------------------- |
