Had radiator changed because of leek now fans won't come on to cool engine fans will stay on if I leave ac on or if I unplug the coolant sensor the fans will run on high but the inside temp gage won't work what to do all fuses are good should I change coolant sensor someone said maybe bad fuse box?

Good morning,

Did the fans work correctly before the radiator change?

The coolant sensor controls the gauge and the timing of the fans coming on. So yes, it could be a bad sensor.

I would also replace the thermostat to be sure it is not stuck open.
