Yeah but how many miles are on your truck? Sometimes they do things based on service intervals. Dex-cool doesn’t last forever and needs to be changed at specified intervals.
Excellent video, thanks. 2016 GMC yukon XL 4 X 4 WITH 5.3. Mileage = 125,000. 1st time this has happened. I purchased the new coolant temperature sensor at Auto Zone for $17.00 and a gallon of the antifreeze concentrate for $21.00, I applied the tape, and took about 90 minutes to set up, do the job, put everything up and clean up. Working great. Total spent $38.00.
Nice work! If it continues the thermostat can also cause it to run the fan and overcool the engine, just fyi ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=3xH7ce8BQL79NnPp
Much appreciated video. I experienced the save event last night with a 2017 Tahoe. Temp gage showed 160 degrees or lowest posible readng, whcih is typicalls 186 F. and both fans were in overdrive. and ran for about 20 minutes after arriving home. Bought a new cooling sensor today for $18, had extra antifreeze. Your well produced how to video turned this repair into an hour event even considering the trip to auto parts store.
Just fyi for the future. The thermostat can stick open and also cause the fans to run. In case it continues Thermostat Replacement Yukon, Tahoe, Sierra, Silverado, Escalade GMC, Chevy 2014-2020 P0128 ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.html

Thank you for this video! I got home pretty late last night after hanging out with friends, and my Yukon did the exact same thing as your wife’s and I was freaking out and did not know what to do. Eventually the fan stopped and I came into the house and started googling as well as YouTubing and found your video, I now know what I’ll be doing today!

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thank you! I replaced the thermostat and the temperature sensor and my Yukon is as good as new! And thank to your video it wasn’t too complicated. I did notice that my vehicle did not show a check engine light, I’m not sure if that matters.
Wanted to leave a comment to say thank you! Seems like my 2015 Yukon XL has been riddled with common issues & it's just one thing after another. RUclips has become my go-to place for solutions. I came across several videos for this issue, but none as easy to follow & quick to the point as yours. I'm trying to learn to fix the smaller details myself. I took this as a learning opportunity & got my hands dirty with my dad. Not only did we get the issue resolved, but it was nice to bond over his intrest too. So thanks again!
These are some of the best instructions I’ve seen for a car repair. I followed them today and the whole thing took less than 30 mins - and it went exactly as described. Very well done, and thanks!!!
Great to hear! If it continues and is reading cold, the thermostat can also cause the same problem, just FYI for the future. ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=wGfq1wjrxll8IUpa
Danny - cannot thank you enough. Had the exact same issue. Your step for step instructions were 100% on point. Part cost me $33 and took around an hour.
If it continues it may also be the thermostat stuck open and it’s really under 160 degrees. Here is how to fix it in the future ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=L0Grd6e5SWZiowXX
🤜 Thank you for the video. Dealer wanted $950.00 - I was able to complete for $55.00 (AC Delco temp sensor and new 19MM socket) 75 minutes by the time picked up parts watch video and worked on the engine.
This is a VERY thorough and informative video. Audio is clear and you even explain small details that others would assume people know…e.g., teflon tape…great video!
I had the same issue. I changed the temperature sensor and it worked like a charm! - 2015 Suburban - 265,xxx miles - CEL was on: P0118, P0128 - The fans would stay on with the car on and off. - A/C was not turning on I started searching away and saw your video! Everything was spot on! Working just fine! Big thank you!!
This video is absolutely perfect, thanks for sharing. My 2016 Yukon did the same and I received a quote from the dealership and they wanted 1300.00 to diagnose and repair. (THEY ARE CRAZY). I did purchase the GM Brand sensor for 53.00 and replaced it in merely 10 minutes. I don't know why you had to remove the entire intake silencer or drain off the radiator hose. I removed the intake connection and left it connected to the air filter section, removed the sensor with towels around it to keep fluid from going over the entire engine/ground; and I only lost about 3 tablespoons of fluid and put the new sensor on. Reconnected everything and now runs perfectly. THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING VIDEO.
I also replaced the thermostat, but made the videos separate as well for those only doing one repair. It doesn’t hurt to drain a little fluid for less of a mess. I’m glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this video. I bought the part a while back after watching how to replace it on an Escalade, but then I realized that my Tahoe had the air silencer (which the Escalade did not). I was not sure how to proceed with the air silencer, but your video was very clear and helped a lot. I did not do the optional part of removing the hose -- when I removed the old sensor I was prepared with some paper towels. Things to note for others dealing with this: 1) if your check engine light remains on after replacing the sensor you typically have to start/stop the car 3 times before the car recognizes that the previous problem causing the light to illuminate no longer exists. 2) if your situation is like mine, when the sensor is bad the fan will stay on for 5 minutes after the car is turned off. For a long time this was just annoying, until it happened so often that it drained my battery and my Tahoe wouldn't start. I saw someone ask if this must get fixed - I don't know about if it is bad for your engine to let the can continue running all the time, but it definitely drains your battery.
@@stpx yes. It was very easy except I didn’t do a great job collecting coolant that spilled. I hosed my driveway off and it didn’t leave any marks. Make sure you replace coolant with correct type. Also try and fill the hose up before you reconnect it so you don’t have too much air in the system. I assume it matters.
Sitting in my Sierra looking at the check engine that just came on and listening to the cooling fan. Thanks to you i have the confidence to try this myself along with thermostat change.
Good to hear. If it continues to happen, it’s also common for the thermostat to stick open and overcool the engine and run the fans ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=Swj6E2HklqMBS4ru
Awesome video. This happened today to my wife’s Yukon denali and I swapped out the coolant temp sensor following your instructions and she’s back in business. Thanks!
Thank you for the help! I didn’t have a 19 mm deep socket and figured what the heck I’ll buy one so in total with new sensor, socket, and coolant it totaled less than $50 to do myself. Thank you again!
Googled what was happening with my fan leaving my son's baseball. Brought me straight to this video. Next morning parts store run 15 minutes later fixed. thank you
I also did the thermostat, which can cause the same problem with the fans, so if they happens here is a video ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=kHxSVZ7ZmOijwQ5F
Thanks for the video! Excellent video. I’ve never done anything mechanic wise and I was able to do this myself and it worked! I refused to pay tons of money to get this fixed. I just hoped and prayed it was the sensor and it was.
I’m glad to hear. If it continues, consider the thermostat as it also sticks open often and causes the same problem ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=x7ej1NWh_hGpCaLI
Thank you for your video! I’m sure it saved me hundreds from the mechanic changing it, not to mention the time saved from having to coordinate getting it into the shop. This was what was wrong with my Suburban and I’m very grateful you posted this . Thank you!
Many have found the thermostat is also sticking open to cause this. I changed both at the same time and did not have the problem come back, but you might want to watch this for future reference in case it continues: ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=5RBbTiv2EgcI0ltg
Well if Danny ever loses his day job...no worries. He makes great videos. Thanks for you help! Same issue with my wife's 2019 Tahoe Premiere 6.2 ~80K miles. With the instructions from your video, had it corrected in about 30 min. I Didn't remove the radiator hose though. Just placed my finger over the opening as I removed the old sensor. I lost less than a teaspoon of coolant while removing the old/installing the new sensor.
If it continues, check out the thermostat. Sometimes it really is running under 160 degrees and if the computer recognizes it, the fans will also run. Glad you found the video useful ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=AHr2ydNcDc0d5ogp
2018 Tahoe success thanks to your video!!! Replaced the Thermostat too at the same time as I wasn’t sure which one was the culprit. Your videos for both were perfectly done! Thank you!
Are you talking about the Water Pump Outlet Assembly with Thermostat? I have the same issue. Not sure which one's the problem. My fan kept blowing even with the truck off to the point where it drained my battery.
2016 Suburban LT... You just saved me sooo much money, brother! It really was simple! It's amazing how that little sensor can effect the operation of the whole engine.
Thank you VERY much for posting this! Ours went out on Friday. My husband watched this video this morning - picked up the parts and got it fixed all in the same day!

@ Well you called it! Last night my car did the same thing as before except I have no heat! I got home and put it in the garage - the fan ran for about 5 minutes and then shut off. We’re going to watch the other video tonight and make plans to install a thermostat. Thanks again! :)
Excellent video! Just a little PSA here. Replace your thermostat also! The same guy here has a similar video for replacing a thermostat, which is right next to the temp sensor. It's a part that is likely to eventually fail so replace it! Expand his description of this video, he says the same thing, I think I just never saw it. Also you find the handy links to order the parts there. I found this video and carried out the steps as I thought it would solve my trouble code which seemed to point to the temp sensor. For some reason, I was too dense to heed the fact that in his video, his sensor was reading zero while mine seemed to read ok. I let myself be confused by the trouble code. It was P0128 "engine coolant temperature is below the thermostat regulating temperature". I thought maybe my temp sensor was intermittently failing or off. Nah. A new thermostat is what fixed that. The temp sensor was fine. The good news I have excellent hindsight so it's all perfectly clear now what I should have done!
I have a 2015 Chevy tahoe, and it was running cold. About every other month, the fan would stay on after I turned the ignition off. I replaced the temp sensor and housing, and that solved my problem. Thanks
This was helpful in diagnosing my 2018. Only difference in steps I followed… 1. only remove the right side of the air intake, use a bungee cord to suspend in the air to the left. 2. Place rags around the sensor when removing to minimize spill. 3. Clamp the large hose going into thermostat housing. Little to no spill, completed in 20 minutes, no more high fan and temperature on dash properly reading now. 👍
If you continue to get the symptoms, the thermostat can stick open and also cause the fan to run. ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=_bhBkh71UHuBxVnf
Saved me, one guy told me he got me on the price, did it, and then charged 450! I just did it for 30$ with help from a friend who’s a little more car savvy than me and i can definitely do it myself from now on. Best video for this ever!
Great job. If the fan continues to run with the new sensor, the thermostat can also stick and cause it to run. It’s also not too hard. Just fyi ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=-NY_JOea38jVlPC5
Thank you so much for posting this!! I have a GMC seirra that had this exact problem. If i were to take it in to a shop, no doubt I'd be charged $1000s. I fixed it myself yesterday with your guidance 🙏 it took me a lot longer than it took you😂 but it's fixed. I literally can't thank u enough.

@dannyjohnsonsgarage will the radiator cause the fan to come and do you think it may be clogged up because I don't see no sign of coolant on the ground
@@mississippioutlaw2285 the fans will continue to run because the vehicle has noticed. It is more hot than usual, just like how they will also run if it thinks it’s too cold than usual. I would try to burp the system as you saw at the end of the video by pouring coolant directly into the radiator hose that goes into the radiator, you don’t want to only have coolant in the gas tank, but in both. Make sure that the engine is cool when you’re doing this, so it doesn’t spray coolant and burn you.
Very helpful video, I followed instructions but I did not disconected the water hoses, I opened the de-gaser canister to release pressure in the system then closed it to keep a vacum, then I did the switch of the sensors as fast as I could and only a few drops spilled that were cleaned very easy with a rag.
Thank you for this video and information! You are a lifesaver! I just replaced the temperature sensor on my 2018 Chevy suburban thanks to you and it solved everything!

@@dannyjohnsonsgarageeveryone is saying the problem comes back because initially it’s being fixed because you reset the battery not because of the new sensor. Did your problem come back? If so did you find the root to the issue?
Very helpful. My exact issue on 2015 Yukon. No check engine light came on. I did not take off the radiator hose. However, I just unscrewed the part slowly and let some fluid leak not much came out and screwed and the new one and called it a day. Took 20 minutes. Part was $35 at local store.
I'm having issues as well. Breaking anything where your electric engine fans running non-stop? Mine are doing that. After replacing that sensor did you have any more issues with your fans?

If it keeps happening and the temperature gauge looks like it’s on zero, it might really be at 160 at the bottom of the gauge and it could be the thermostat that is stuck open and overcooling the engine.

Great channel. I subscribed! Had this issue today and these videos explained everything really well. Only recommendation is to edit the comments to ensure people reset the cpu by pulling the negative cable on the battery. Also, for anyone else out there, when removing the small hose from the thermostat housing to get that clamp out of the way, be careful. When removing it the piece my hose was lcamped to may have been on the verge of dry rot, or i didnt have the clamp opened all the way and the nozzle broke off in the house so i had to get a new thermostat housing and install. Oh well, probably good i changed the thermostat anyway :) BTW Danny has a video for that as well :)
Yeah, disconnecting the negative battery cable is covered as the first step in the video, but people comment telling me they didn’t do it as shown and short it out. It’s always a good idea to disconnect the battery when working on anything with an electrical connector but having people follow the instructions is another thing lol

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I also have the thermostat portion, which can also cause the fan to run, so keep this video in mind for the future Thermostat & Coolant temperature sensor replacement: Yukon, Tahoe, Sierra, Silverado, Escalade GM

Thank you for this video! I got home pretty late last night after hanging out with friends, and my Yukon did the exact same thing as your wife’s and I was freaking out and did not know what to do. Eventually the fan stopped and I came into the house and started googling as well as YouTubing and found your video, I now know what I’ll be doing today!
The thermostat commonly sticks open as well. It’s very easy to fix, so if it continues, check this out for the future ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=dtMpuIdw_lV_ZxIB
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thank you! I replaced the thermostat and the temperature sensor and my Yukon is as good as new! And thank to your video it wasn’t too complicated. I did notice that my vehicle did not show a check engine light, I’m not sure if that matters.
@@LATINO_2020 mine did not have a code in the beginning either. It is somewhat normal. Glad you got it fixed 👍🏼
Wanted to leave a comment to say thank you! Seems like my 2015 Yukon XL has been riddled with common issues & it's just one thing after another. RUclips has become my go-to place for solutions. I came across several videos for this issue, but none as easy to follow & quick to the point as yours. I'm trying to learn to fix the smaller details myself. I took this as a learning opportunity & got my hands dirty with my dad. Not only did we get the issue resolved, but it was nice to bond over his intrest too. So thanks again!
These are some of the best instructions I’ve seen for a car repair. I followed them today and the whole thing took less than 30 mins - and it went exactly as described. Very well done, and thanks!!!
Great to hear! If it continues and is reading cold, the thermostat can also cause the same problem, just FYI for the future. ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=wGfq1wjrxll8IUpa
Danny - cannot thank you enough. Had the exact same issue. Your step for step instructions were 100% on point. Part cost me $33 and took around an hour.
If it continues it may also be the thermostat stuck open and it’s really under 160 degrees. Here is how to fix it in the future ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=L0Grd6e5SWZiowXX
Thank you. Had this done on my Yukon in less than 10 minutes. Fixed the fans being on and running down the battery after turning the ignition off.
If it continues, look into the thermostat. It can also cause the issue with the fans. ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=spYGv5K9ABEzew_G
🤜 Thank you for the video. Dealer wanted $950.00 - I was able to complete for $55.00 (AC Delco temp sensor and new 19MM socket) 75 minutes by the time picked up parts watch video and worked on the engine.
Nice work! That’s what I hope to help with on the channel.
This is a VERY thorough and informative video. Audio is clear and you even explain small details that others would assume people know…e.g., teflon tape…great video!
I had the same issue. I changed the temperature sensor and it worked like a charm!
- 2015 Suburban - 265,xxx miles
- CEL was on: P0118, P0128
- The fans would stay on with the car on and off.
- A/C was not turning on
I started searching away and saw your video! Everything was spot on! Working just fine!
Big thank you!!
If it comes back it may be the thermostat sticking as well. Just fyi

This video is absolutely perfect, thanks for sharing. My 2016 Yukon did the same and I received a quote from the dealership and they wanted 1300.00 to diagnose and repair. (THEY ARE CRAZY). I did purchase the GM Brand sensor for 53.00 and replaced it in merely 10 minutes. I don't know why you had to remove the entire intake silencer or drain off the radiator hose. I removed the intake connection and left it connected to the air filter section, removed the sensor with towels around it to keep fluid from going over the entire engine/ground; and I only lost about 3 tablespoons of fluid and put the new sensor on. Reconnected everything and now runs perfectly. THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING VIDEO.
I also replaced the thermostat, but made the videos separate as well for those only doing one repair. It doesn’t hurt to drain a little fluid for less of a mess. I’m glad you enjoyed it
Definitely the best video on YT for this issue.
Thanks for this video. I bought the part a while back after watching how to replace it on an Escalade, but then I realized that my Tahoe had the air silencer (which the Escalade did not). I was not sure how to proceed with the air silencer, but your video was very clear and helped a lot. I did not do the optional part of removing the hose -- when I removed the old sensor I was prepared with some paper towels. Things to note for others dealing with this: 1) if your check engine light remains on after replacing the sensor you typically have to start/stop the car 3 times before the car recognizes that the previous problem causing the light to illuminate no longer exists. 2) if your situation is like mine, when the sensor is bad the fan will stay on for 5 minutes after the car is turned off. For a long time this was just annoying, until it happened so often that it drained my battery and my Tahoe wouldn't start. I saw someone ask if this must get fixed - I don't know about if it is bad for your engine to let the can continue running all the time, but it definitely drains your battery.
After 5 days the problem came back. Going to replace the thermostat next: ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.html
I have the same issue. Replaced the coolant temp sensor, worked great, then about a week later it started up again. Did replacing the thermostat work?
@@stpx yes. It was very easy except I didn’t do a great job collecting coolant that spilled. I hosed my driveway off and it didn’t leave any marks. Make sure you replace coolant with correct type. Also try and fill the hose up before you reconnect it so you don’t have too much air in the system. I assume it matters.
Sitting in my Sierra looking at the check engine that just came on and listening to the cooling fan. Thanks to you i have the confidence to try this myself along with thermostat change.
Good to hear. If it continues to happen, it’s also common for the thermostat to stick open and overcool the engine and run the fans ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=Swj6E2HklqMBS4ru
Awesome video. This happened today to my wife’s Yukon denali and I swapped out the coolant temp sensor following your instructions and she’s back in business. Thanks!
Thank you for the help! I didn’t have a 19 mm deep socket and figured what the heck I’ll buy one so in total with new sensor, socket, and coolant it totaled less than $50 to do myself. Thank you again!
So thankful for your video. My wife’s 2016 Yukon just did the same thing. I followed your video exactly and now it is fixed. Thank you.
Googled what was happening with my fan leaving my son's baseball. Brought me straight to this video. Next morning parts store run 15 minutes later fixed. thank you
I also did the thermostat, which can cause the same problem with the fans, so if they happens here is a video ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=kHxSVZ7ZmOijwQ5F
Thanks for the video! Excellent video. I’ve never done anything mechanic wise and I was able to do this myself and it worked! I refused to pay tons of money to get this fixed. I just hoped and prayed it was the sensor and it was.
I’m glad to hear. If it continues, consider the thermostat as it also sticks open often and causes the same problem ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=x7ej1NWh_hGpCaLI
Thank you for your video! I’m sure it saved me hundreds from the mechanic changing it, not to mention the time saved from having to coordinate getting it into the shop. This was what was wrong with my Suburban and I’m very grateful you posted this . Thank you!
Many have found the thermostat is also sticking open to cause this. I changed both at the same time and did not have the problem come back, but you might want to watch this for future reference in case it continues: ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=5RBbTiv2EgcI0ltg

Thanks for you help!
Same issue with my wife's 2019 Tahoe Premiere 6.2 ~80K miles. With the instructions from your video, had it corrected in about 30 min.
I Didn't remove the radiator hose though. Just placed my finger over the opening as I removed the old sensor. I lost less than a teaspoon of coolant while removing the old/installing the new sensor.
If it continues, check out the thermostat. Sometimes it really is running under 160 degrees and if the computer recognizes it, the fans will also run. Glad you found the video useful ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=AHr2ydNcDc0d5ogp
2018 Tahoe success thanks to your video!!! Replaced the Thermostat too at the same time as I wasn’t sure which one was the culprit. Your videos for both were perfectly done! Thank you!
Are you talking about the Water Pump Outlet Assembly with Thermostat? I have the same issue. Not sure which one's the problem. My fan kept blowing even with the truck off to the point where it drained my battery.

@ Well you called it! Last night my car did the same thing as before except I have no heat! I got home and put it in the garage - the fan ran for about 5 minutes and then shut off. We’re going to watch the other video tonight and make plans to install a thermostat. Thanks again! :)
Excellent video! Just a little PSA here. Replace your thermostat also! The same guy here has a similar video for replacing a thermostat, which is right next to the temp sensor. It's a part that is likely to eventually fail so replace it! Expand his description of this video, he says the same thing, I think I just never saw it. Also you find the handy links to order the parts there. I found this video and carried out the steps as I thought it would solve my trouble code which seemed to point to the temp sensor. For some reason, I was too dense to heed the fact that in his video, his sensor was reading zero while mine seemed to read ok. I let myself be confused by the trouble code. It was P0128 "engine coolant temperature is below the thermostat regulating temperature". I thought maybe my temp sensor was intermittently failing or off. Nah. A new thermostat is what fixed that. The temp sensor was fine. The good news I have excellent hindsight so it's all perfectly clear now what I should have done!
I have a 2015 Chevy tahoe, and it was running cold. About every other month, the fan would stay on after I turned the ignition off. I replaced the temp sensor and housing, and that solved my problem. Thanks
This was helpful in diagnosing my 2018. Only difference in steps I followed… 1. only remove the right side of the air intake, use a bungee cord to suspend in the air to the left. 2. Place rags around the sensor when removing to minimize spill. 3. Clamp the large hose going into thermostat housing.
Little to no spill, completed in 20 minutes, no more high fan and temperature on dash properly reading now. 👍
If you continue to get the symptoms, the thermostat can stick open and also cause the fan to run. ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=_bhBkh71UHuBxVnf
Saved me, one guy told me he got me on the price, did it, and then charged 450! I just did it for 30$ with help from a friend who’s a little more car savvy than me and i can definitely do it myself from now on. Best video for this ever!
Great job. If the fan continues to run with the new sensor, the thermostat can also stick and cause it to run. It’s also not too hard. Just fyi

@dannyjohnsonsgarage will the radiator cause the fan to come and do you think it may be clogged up because I don't see no sign of coolant on the ground
@@mississippioutlaw2285 the fans will continue to run because the vehicle has noticed. It is more hot than usual, just like how they will also run if it thinks it’s too cold than usual. I would try to burp the system as you saw at the end of the video by pouring coolant directly into the radiator hose that goes into the radiator, you don’t want to only have coolant in the gas tank, but in both. Make sure that the engine is cool when you’re doing this, so it doesn’t spray coolant and burn you.
Very helpful video, I followed instructions but I did not disconected the water hoses, I opened the de-gaser canister to release pressure in the system then closed it to keep a vacum, then I did the switch of the sensors as fast as I could and only a few drops spilled that were cleaned very easy with a rag.

@@dannyjohnsonsgarageeveryone is saying the problem comes back because initially it’s being fixed because you reset the battery not because of the new sensor. Did your problem come back? If so did you find the root to the issue?
Very helpful. My exact issue on 2015 Yukon. No check engine light came on. I did not take off the radiator hose. However, I just unscrewed the part slowly and let some fluid leak not much came out and screwed and the new one and called it a day. Took 20 minutes. Part was $35 at local store.
I'm having issues as well. Breaking anything where your electric engine fans running non-stop? Mine are doing that. After replacing that sensor did you have any more issues with your fans?
To turn the fans of - pull the FAN 1 & FAN 2 fuses from underhood box on driver side (use pliers to do that) - they are big, 40 amp rated

Good call. It typically is the thermostat sticking open. You’ll be glad you did it
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage yeah, my coolant thermometer wasn’t that dirty. But I had the same symptoms you had. High fan running, 0 temperature on gauge.
Thaks Danny for the info, am not a mechanic but feels good to repair something for my self.
If it keeps happening and the temperature gauge looks like it’s on zero, it might really be at 160 at the bottom of the gauge and it could be the thermostat that is stuck open and overcooling the engine. If that is the case and the fan keeps running, look into the thermostat. Here’s my video for that. ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=K20J0IOGiT2gs1q_
Great channel. I subscribed! Had this issue today and these videos explained everything really well. Only recommendation is to edit the comments to ensure people reset the cpu by pulling the negative cable on the battery.
Also, for anyone else out there, when removing the small hose from the thermostat housing to get that clamp out of the way, be careful. When removing it the piece my hose was lcamped to may have been on the verge of dry rot, or i didnt have the clamp opened all the way and the nozzle broke off in the house so i had to get a new thermostat housing and install. Oh well, probably good i changed the thermostat anyway :) BTW Danny has a video for that as well :)
Yeah, disconnecting the negative battery cable is covered as the first step in the video, but people comment telling me they didn’t do it as shown and short it out. It’s always a good idea to disconnect the battery when working on anything with an electrical connector but having people follow the instructions is another thing lol

I’m going to try to tackle this tomorrow myself. The only thing I’m scared about is the burping the system part with adding the coolant back.
You should be fine if you follow the video. I also have this version that has the thermostat. It can also be bad in most cases. Be sure to unplug the black negative battery terminal when you start as the video shows, and make sure it has cooled down

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thank you! 🙏🏽
Awesome video Sir! Nicely done
Hello. Same issue but I changed the sensor and it is still doing the same thing. Any other possible suggestions?
The thermostat can stick open and also cause the fans to run as the temp really is under 160 and the vehicle recognizes it shouldn’t be. ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=DNChAlcUGxf8tB_z
@ thank you. Let me try that then
Excellent video instructions. Thank you.
My 2018 silverado is doing this but no check engine light
You don’t always get a light for it. I’d also consider the thermostat as it’s also a problem when it sticks open and over cools the engine

Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
My husband followed the steps and the Suburban is still having issues with the fan continually running. Is there anything else that he could try? Thank you
I would next check the thermostat ruclips.net/video/aEfgkxWdBYw/видео.htmlsi=DuINHK0LTdIFT6zx
