Sebring sedan 2.7l 2004

Last week I noticed a higher engine temprature when A/C is on. I later realised that fan speed is at low all the time.

Checked fuses and relays no code came up.

any ideas ?

 

the high speed fan will come on at 220

 

engine reach away more than 220 !! they also should come when certain pressure in a/c system is reached. They used to work and now I have noticed that they don't at all and i'm getting upnormal temprature readings ..

 

check fuses check the fans see if they come on when adding power right to them

 

ok I disconnected temprature sensor and low speed only came on. I checked relay it is working even I have switched low speed relay with high speed to make sure both work and they are ok.

High speed not working

 

the temp sensor is doing its job if the gauge is showing the temp of the car its working just fine.

have u checked the fuses or am I just talking to myself?

 

Yes I did check all fuses and both relays. engine temprature is very high just before red mark. i always switch off a/c when i get to this level. a/c performance is poor too.

 

get a wire diagram and make sure the is power and ground to both high and low speed fan relay

 

you will never believe what happend !! :-D

I was angry so I did hit power distribution center with a screw driver ... and high speed kicked on :-D

I have wiring diagrams so I'm going to check what is bad connection in that center.

I drove the car then If I have stolen it, looks good but heat gage fluctuates, perhaps bad thermostat from overheating for couple of weeks ..

 

Just recently started having a problem with a 2004 Sebring convertible 2.7L running hot when stuck in traffic for extended time. What is the best repair manual that will help me troubleshoot this problem by showing the following: sensors and locations, relays, fuses, wiring diagrams. Also need info on which fan is high speed, which is low and when they come on.


FURTHER INFO - replaced a leaking water outlet housing 2 years ago and temp used to read about 3/8, but now rarely goes to 1/4. Tried to take sensor out of old housing, but it kept spinning, so I didn't try to get the existing one out. Does this temperature sensor control radiator fans?

When the car was running hot, temp gauge was reading above 1/2 and oil light flickered. (synthetic oil changed every 3500 miles, so don't believe sludging to be a problem) Turned on heater, windows opened and fan on high made temp go down to normal range.

At home, started the car, put the a/c on and both fans both came on after a delay and cycled on and off. The a/c clutch didn't engage. Haven't used the a/c in months, but it worked well back then.
