Radiator Fans not working

Hi,
Turns out I had the car brought in and it had a code of PO128 ECT below thermostat regulating temperature. The code was reset and my cooling fans operate as normal. Although they did not that my car only runs at 150 degrees down the highway, my car has always ran cool in the winter versus about just under 210 in the summer. I put a new thermostat in about a month ago and I know Grand Prix's like mine also run cool. I don't know why but I wonder if maybe that's why it takes my car so long to warm up, any thoughts? Anyways, it's fixed now and you know what the problem was.
Thanks,
ahenre

Hello -

Glad it is fixed.

Yes - the higher the thermostat the hotter the engine must get to open it. Some cars are pretty sensitive and will trip a light if the thermostat is a little slow... Though within operating limits.

Again, glad it is fixed... Thanks for letting us know.
