when I got my car originally, the fans were just on all the time. I got this sorted out when I put a new motor in, but ever since then, the fans kick on when the ECT hits 140 (what I see in link). I've got to assume that the sensor is actually turning the fans on at a lower temp since it's located at the bottom of the radiator.
So here's the thing: WTF? I don't see any resistors anywhere, and the temp sensor is stock Denso. I mean it might be f'ed? What else could cause this? It's causing the car to run a bit cooler than I would like, which is manageable with the coolant offset, but it also takes quite a bit of time to warm up.
I figure if the temp sensor fails, it just fails. Weird that the fans are coming on at such a specific temp...
