It's a 3.5l , the problem I'm having is this . The car runs extremely well for it's mileage at 165,000. But it over heats due to the electric fans not coming on . I've replaced the temp sensor thermostat and radiator , bled the system of air , new hoses and all. If I unplug the temp sensor on the water neck , both of the electric fans will come on and cool the system . Otherwise they don't come on and the car starts to run hot . Not wanting to warp a head or blow a head gasket I'm looking for a little help. It's got to be something I am overlooking . Any help is greatly apprecitaed as this is my Grandmothers car were trying to fix , so she can get something without all the problems this car has had. Thank you in advance.

i had same problem on my 95 LHS. never learned the cause of this. Dealer wanted $450 to fix. So, i fixed myself by cutting wires to the fans and installed a switch to turn on fans myself. Ackward, yes, but works great. Cost, $2.75 for on/off switch from radio shack. now a habit to turn on fans whenever i drive.
