Hello, I have a 2001 sebring convertable with the 2.7 engine, The radiator cooling fans do not come on, but if I turn the AC on they cycle the way they should. Any one have any one have any thoughts on this problem? Thanks, Steve

The point is that the fans are not supposed to run all the time. What you have described may not be a "problem" at all, but the proper operation of the system.

My temp gauge went out, I bought a new sencer the one by the bleed screw, however the old one does not unscrew, it just turns, do you think this could be the problem with the temp gauge? I need the gauge to see if the car is running hot. Thanks, Steve

Search the forum here for a great deal of discussion on replacement of this part. It's called the coolant outlet manifold, water outlet and some other names like bleeder block and (mistakenly) the thermostat housing.
Now that you have spun the sensor in the housing you can bet that it will start leaking. Most of them fail eventually, so don't be surprised that yours has too.
With the correct tool, it's not a difficult repair. Use "gear wrench" for your search term in the forum and you'll find out how to do it.

Now get the gear wrench so you can replace the part without removing the upper intake manifold.

That will work if it's shallow enough. Apparently you didn't search the forum as suggested or you'd have found a link to a picture of a gear wrench. Anyway, with the proper tool, you'll find this an easy project. No need to pull the upper intake manifold.
