I may be having 2 problems, not sure.
First was the coolant light comes on randomly. Replaced water pump (with timing belt), replaced coolant, and replaced reservoir, light still flashes. Sometimes I can drive for hours, no problem, sometimes in the middle of a trip. blink, blink, blink.... Coolant level good, no codes. :evil:
One thing I have recently noticed is that the radiator fan cycles on a off. 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off. Stays on for about 30 seconds after I turn off the car. 0 degrees outside, fan still fires up on a cold car, makes a lot of noise because it is running full speed. Engine temperature gauge works normally, moves slowly up to normal temp, then stops. No overheating, no codes.
First a question. For the engine temp gauge, is that that same sensor as what is used to turn on the fan?
Could this be the aux water pump, coolant temp sensor, something else?
I don't have a wiring diagram, so I don't know what turns the fan on.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
