Hey monte owners, I was cruzing last night and suddenly noticed my engine temp was going up to half which it NEVER has done. I pulled over and discovered the fans were not coming on! Tested the fans and it seems there is no power going to them. Bad fuse? Ground? any ideas where I should start looking? Anyone experienced a similar problem? Oh yeah it's a 2002 ss.

 

Half way on the gauge is only 195°, the normal operating temperature

212° and when the AC is on, is when your fans should be kicking on.

But definitely check your fuses

 

or the engin temp sensor

 

Thanks guys, I didn't realize normal operating temp was that high because I've never seen mine get there! Also they were not coming on while running ac, I had always heard that they should. I pulled two underhood relays first, they appeared to be good. Put them back in and the fan came on! I have no idea what to do now. I guess just continue to keep a close eye on the fans...after the weekend I will also get that temp sensor checked. Thanks again, you guys on MCF rock!
