Does your 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Suburban, or Tahoe radiator fan keep running? Here are the symptoms: Fans keep running, air conditioner stops working, temperature gauge stops working or reads 160 degrees. The fix for me was NOT the temperature sensor, it was actually the thermostat. This video explains what may be the cause of the issue. Good luck!

I was about to ask for an update. Glad you’re ok but kinda bunmed because I have the same issue. I changed the sensor and had identical results. Gave up and took it to the dealer. Said I had a crack in my radiator. Swapped. Paid a lot. Then it happened about a yr or so later. (Now) But the exact same issue. Temp gauge drops. Tops out at 180. Few times it went to 210. If I’m driving and see the temp stay at 180 I think “it’s about to happen again.” Then as I’m driving I see the temp gauge at 160 and sure enough, fans are on and they stay on after I turn off the truck. If I disconnect the battery and reconnect, they’ll stay off for a week or so. I notice it happens when I go on long trips on the highway. Constant fear of it happening because I know I’ll have to disconnect the battery again. I’ll try the thermostat this time. Sorry for the long comment 😅

I’m not car guy and have never fixed my own vehicle before. However, pep boys wanted to charge me $800 to get the fan to turn off so I decided to man up and fix it myself. I followed your video and decided to replace the thermostat (not the sensor). The fans works properly now, the gage sits at 210, and the check engine light is off. Been driving my tahoe for a 2 weeks and no problems at all. I appreciate you sharing the video and saving me some money.

This worked perfectly for my 2015 Yukon with 111k miles. I had replaced the temp sensor 6 months prior and it stopped the fan issue, but it had recently come back once the weather got cold. I would recommend replacing both the temp sensor and the thermostat while you are in... biggest issue I had was finding my 10mm socket. I am NOT mechanically inclined... anyone can do this if you follow these steps. Thanks for posting.

Thumbs up for the video. My 2014 Silverado did all of this yesterday and I bought a thermostat and coolant temperature sensor. $67 for the thermostat and $17 for the temperature sensor at Auto Zone. Took about an hour to fix it this morning with the majority of the time wrestling with the hose clamps. Temperature is at 210F and all is well. Don't know which part was the culprit, but for the price of them it made sense to just replace each one while I was right there.

When the truck seems to be working fine, I also noticed the temp only reaches part way to 210 as well. You mentioned mileage being an issue too. I have noticed my mileage has been worse lately as well. Hopefully this will be a win win all around. Thanks again. Have a great day.

Thanks for the informative video! I had the "demonic possesed fan" problem in a 2017. Scan tool showed the coolant temp rarely getting over 140F. I replaced both the TStat and sensor at the same time, about a 15 minute job. After, I realized my truck had been running cooler and cooler for a while and my mileage was dropping! 😉 I always had good heat, so I attributed it to winter weather and mostly short trips. I'm pretty sure the real problem was the TStat, but the sensor was cheap and easy enough to replace while I was there. Now the temp gauge reaches straight up and down and the fuel mileage has improved.

I also bought a diagnostic tool and it showed the ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) error but said it was permanent and I could not reset it with the scan tool.

Worked like a champ. I too changed the sensor first because it was "easier". Made no change. Once a new thermostat was on it worked like a charm. I however did run into a small hiccup. When hooking my overflow hose back up as i slid the clamp down the hose the stem on the thermostat broke completely off. I had to dig it out of the hose and then return it for a new one. Guy at the counter said he'd seen it a few times over the years. Glad it happened when i was fiddling w it and not while cruising down the road. Thanks again for the vid!

I've always tried to do basic repairs on cars over the years. My Wife's 2015 Suburban had this exact issue. Temp wouldn't come up, the fans would stay on after shutting the truck off until the battery died. I ordered the parts from Rockauto, the thermostat and temp sensor. The fans stopped blaring away, I also bought a code reader and was able to reset the codes. My only snag was that I didn't seat the wire into the thermostat well enough, I had to re-seat it and the truck works great. Your video was clear, concise and well videoed. Thank you for this post, everything I read about this - you saved me a ton. I've seen average costs for the thermostat start at $240 alone. I'm sure the temp sensor was going to be another $300+. Thanks!!

Just wanted to say thank you. Had this same issue. I replaced the sensor, problem went away for about 5 months and then started again. Paid the $68 for the thermostat, swapped it out and put some coolant in and so far so good.

Changed the sensor on my sons 2015 Silverado (5.3L) but the fan kept running. Changed the thermostat and the fan kept running. There was no CEL on because he said he had cleared the codes, so I thought I had a bigger problem. Grabbed the code reader and the code was still there. Cleared it and the fans immediately went to normal ops. Wish I would have cleared the codes after the sensor, but either way, great video. He has a new sensor and thermostat.

I had already replaced the temp sensor, no luck. Watched this excellent video, went and bought the thermostat. But I decided to scan for codes(I did not have a check engine light), cleared the P0128 (Error code P0128 indicates that your engine coolant temperature is below the thermostat regulating temperature. This means that your Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recognized that your engine is running cooler than it's supposed to). After clearing the code, started the truck and went for a ride- no fans and temp started rising up normally. I may still replace the t-stat, truck has 117K so a new tstat couldn't hurt. But before you replace either of these parts, clear your codes...you might save yourself a little time and money. This all started after we replaced the radiator and power flushed the cooling system. I wasn't having any issues other than a very minor radiator leak. When I got my truck back I noticed the temp wouldn't climb and the fans were roaring on high- cleared the codes as mentioned above and fans stop coming on, temp rose to 210...back to normal.

Perfect video to explain and show repair. Seems best to replace both because of location and they work together. Seems if the gauge stays at 160 it would be a sensor issue, mine doesnt even do the gauge scan at start up.
@MyClutteredGarage
@MyClutteredGarage 5 месяцев назад
Interesting about the gauge scan. Did you read the codes?
5 месяцев назад
@@MyClutteredGarage no, nothing showing on dash and do not have a reader. I just figured, as with any computer stuff, reset and try again. Sometimes my factory radio needs reset and then its fine for months. I will see if it works over a period of time, if not I will let you know, but ya, all the gauges at start up do a fan scan and settle where current readings are. But when this was happening the temp Guage does not move during start up, so to me its all electrical, not mechanical. Ghosts in the machine

@@MyClutteredGarage For a 3 week update. Working perfectly by just the reset. Still does the gauge scan "sweep" at startup as it should for all gauges. One way to see is put a manual temp gauge in for test and see if the thermostat, a manual mechanical feature that does not send a signal to a computer or gauge, only the sensor or wiring or computer or gauge itself would be to blame if the thermostat is opening and closing as it should. If the thermostat is stuck open or closed the gauge should reflect overheating or too cold it the other parts mentioned are working properly. On a Duramax we were reading low oil pressure,the gauge and sent a code. But engine sounded fine.....of course a "mechanic" wanted $2500 to replace the oil pump......I suggested putting on a mechanical oil pressure gauge and viola, we had correct oil pressure, we flashed the computer and it work for awhile.....same issue again......beings its all trial and error anymore beyond mechanical parts when it intermittent,we then replaced sensor......6 months no issue yet. It seems sensors and computers to tell you if the mechanical item is working fail more often than the mechanical item. Fun Fun.

I had the very same problem. replaced the temp. sensor and worked great for about a week. Then followed your advice and replaced the thermostat. Now working fine and warms up to 210 F just like new. So far so good we will see over time. I am suspect of the connector that engages the sensor, so I have on hand a new connector just in case I need it. Original connector may not be staying in locked position. Thanks for you help!!
