Can you guys tell me if this is the sensor that turns on the fans, its located on the passengers side front bumper. Here's a pic
lol, god damn...i took that off for nothing anyways where is the sensor for the cooling fans, i think one of the post here mentioned that you have to follow the wire from the fan to the side of the car somewhere but i guess there's a sensor for the fan just like there is one for the temp gauge.

LOL. That's one hell of a huge sensor.
I don't think there is a sensor persay. I believe that the coolant temperature sensor relays the coolant temp to the PCM, which in turns tells the fan when to turn on.

Cause I replaced the temp sensor by the thermostat and replaced the cooling fan itself then flushed the radiator but still the cooling fan wont turn on especially if im sitting there idling, my car would try to overheat. So either its this PCM or something...but i open to suggestion's
Check the fuse box on the engine bay and the fan relay.Do the fan go on when you turn on the Air conditioned?

No, only time i notice it running is if i hit a bump or something but i checked every wire for a loose connection
but couldnt find any.
Sounds as a faulty electrical connection somewhere, I would start with the fan motor connector itself, I had to change mine once since the fan kicked on sometimes and sometimes it would not. See that its contacts are clean and tight, any doubts replace it. Then replace the fan relay, both cheap parts and can save your engine.
Alright, thanks guys for help
