Hey guys, my 1996 eclipse gs with the 420A motor coolant fans won’t kick on their own causing it to over heat. When the AC is on both fans will run. However, when the AC is NOT on the cooling fans will not turn on on their own. I replaced the coolant temperature sensor and sending unit which did not solve my problem. It only starts to overheat when sitting at idle/ in traffic for too long. What’s interesting to me however is that when I disconnect the coolant temperature sensor the check engine light illuminates and both fans turn on. What could be the issue here? Could the new part be bad?
