Silverado Radiator Fan Won't Turn Off! This is THE fix! MCG video 141

Does your 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Suburban, or Tahoe radiator fan keep running? Here are the symptoms: Fans keep running, air conditioner stops working, temperature gauge stops working or reads 160 degrees. The fix for me was NOT the temperature sensor, it was actually the thermostat. This video explains what may be the cause of the issue. Good luck!

Unfortunately, I won’t know if this fix worked long-term. This is why 😖 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5iciHulh6p5gKM

[@Pearhead4207]

that's a bummer...glad all are safe!

[@robertlozano3156]

My Tahoe was doing the same thing. Changed the temperature sensor first. When problem continued I changed the thermostat and that corrected all symptoms.

Looks like the truck did well for you and yours

[@mikealmazan7891]

I was about to ask for an update. Glad you’re ok but kinda bunmed because I have the same issue. I changed the sensor and had identical results. Gave up and took it to the dealer. Said I had a crack in my radiator. Swapped. Paid a lot. Then it happened about a yr or so later. (Now) But the exact same issue. Temp gauge drops. Tops out at 180. Few times it went to 210. If I’m driving and see the temp stay at 180 I think “it’s about to happen again.” Then as I’m driving I see the temp gauge at 160 and sure enough, fans are on and they stay on after I turn off the truck. If I disconnect the battery and reconnect, they’ll stay off for a week or so. I notice it happens when I go on long trips on the highway. Constant fear of it happening because I know I’ll have to disconnect the battery again. I’ll try the thermostat this time. Sorry for the long comment 😅

[@johnwyoder]

Oops!

[@kathleenfromhold7932]

Same issue with the fans and low temp, stumbled across this miracle of a video, went right for the thermostat and bingo. God bless the internet, KZbin, and this guy. Perfect video easy fix

​@MyClutteredGarage , might be obvious with all the fix comments, but just curious, did the issue ever come back?

You described exactly what was going on with my 2014 Silverado. Had it diagnosed at advanced auto a while ago. I've been putting it of for a while now. Super easy video to follow. A lot easier to fix than I expected. Did it today. Easy peasy. Thanks. God Bless

Thank you! Good luck! Remember to clear the codes!

[@tetristrivia]

Your video was a life saver! Had the exact same problem. Changed the sensor, seemed to fix it for a week but then it came back like you said. The thermostat was the culprit for sure. $55 fix!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Great to hear!

[@JuanRamirez-jz5pt]

Excellent video, issue has been resolved. This was the 2nd time my Radiators Fans felt like flying. Also, since the fans were rev'd up, that also killed my battery. The first time, I took it to the dealership, and they could not recreate the problem. Several months later, the issue came back. Just replaced the thermostat and I noticed my gauge finally start working properly, THANKS!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Great!

[@zeebeach4871]

Thumbs up for the video. My 2014 Silverado did all of this yesterday and I bought a thermostat and coolant temperature sensor. $67 for the thermostat and $17 for the temperature sensor at Auto Zone. Took about an hour to fix it this morning with the majority of the time wrestling with the hose clamps. Temperature is at 210F and all is well. Don't know which part was the culprit, but for the price of them it made sense to just replace each one while I was right there.

[@larissapaine4133]

Same thing as a lot of these comments! I was having the same issue I turned to the internet and found this awesome video! Saved me having to take it to a shop and got in fixed next day in under an hour. Thank you for sharing!

Replaced every sensor associated with temp and your video really helped after we spent over 2000.00 on garages that worked on it ....

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Glad it helped but sorry it was after all that work!

[@scottweathersby3169]

This worked perfectly for my 2015 Yukon with 111k miles. I had replaced the temp sensor 6 months prior and it stopped the fan issue, but it had recently come back once the weather got cold. I would recommend replacing both the temp sensor and the thermostat while you are in... biggest issue I had was finding my 10mm socket. I am NOT mechanically inclined... anyone can do this if you follow these steps. Thanks for posting.

[@mb23lc]

As so many comments have said…. You are a life saver. My next route was going to be wiring and ECM replacements. God bless you!!!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you! Good luck!

[@865P]

my fan started running this morning and would not shut off. No codes came up no errors, but the temperature was bottomed out. I decided to replace both since the price was only like 20 bucks and I had the stuff apart . seems to be working properly now . thank you for taking the time to do this 👍

Thank you so much! My 2014 Sierra was doing the exact same thing with the radiator fan running full blast even after I shut the engine off and my temp gauge would only get up to 185 degrees. I went ahead and replaced both the temperature sensor and thermostat and now it runs great and back to normal 210 degrees on the temp gauge. I’ll have to agree with the other 2 comments I read that you saved me $500 at Christmas time. Thanks again.

They apear to have thought about making a thermostat change easy, that is a very good design,. I think you are right that it needed a new thermostat and I hope it fixes the fan issue. Great job

I believe that is exactly what my problem is too. I to put the sensor in first had no problems for about four months and it started doing it again. I had bought a thermostat at that time just in case it did it again so tomorrow I will be putting that in. Thank you for your video.

Thanks! Hope it works!

I’m not car guy and have never fixed my own vehicle before. However, pep boys wanted to charge me $800 to get the fan to turn off so I decided to man up and fix it myself. I followed your video and decided to replace the thermostat (not the sensor). The fans works properly now, the gage sits at 210, and the check engine light is off. Been driving my tahoe for a 2 weeks and no problems at all. I appreciate you sharing the video and saving me some money.

My 2015 Silverado was doing this exact same thing. I took your advice and replaced both coolant temperature sensor and thermostat as they were both very simple to do and this fixed everything. I also bought a diagnostic tool and it showed the ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) error but said it was permanent and I could not reset it with the scan tool. However, after driving around the block the temperature came back up to 210F and it cleared the code and engine light - Thanks much!

[@PaulLB7]

@@MyClutteredGarage I know, so much for giving us a long term status update! And for clarity, I didn’t fix it then, because it only happened once and didn’t throw any codes, so thought it was a one time demon or something. Replaced it today - took longer for the guy at the parts store to find it on the shelf then it did for me to swap it out.

[@Pearhead4207]

Worked like a champ. I too changed the sensor first because it was "easier". Made no change. Once a new thermostat was on it worked like a charm. I however did run into a small hiccup. When hooking my overflow hose back up as i slid the clamp down the hose the stem on the thermostat broke completely off. I had to dig it out of the hose and then return it for a new one. Guy at the counter said he'd seen it a few times over the years. Glad it happened when i was fiddling w it and not while cruising down the road. Thanks again for the vid!

[@alext2850]

I've always tried to do basic repairs on cars over the years. My Wife's 2015 Suburban had this exact issue. Temp wouldn't come up, the fans would stay on after shutting the truck off until the battery died. I ordered the parts from Rockauto, the thermostat and temp sensor. The fans stopped blaring away, I also bought a code reader and was able to reset the codes. My only snag was that I didn't seat the wire into the thermostat well enough, I had to re-seat it and the truck works great. Your video was clear, concise and well videoed. Thank you for this post, everything I read about this - you saved me a ton. I've seen average costs for the thermostat start at $240 alone. I'm sure the temp sensor was going to be another $300+.

Well because of this video I decided to do the same thing you did because it kept on messing up. I'm happy to say I didn't have to reset the computer. Thank you for this video!

I had already replaced the temp sensor, no luck. Watched this excellent video, went and bought the thermostat. But I decided to scan for codes(I did not have a check engine light), cleared the P0128 (Error code P0128 indicates that your engine coolant temperature is below the thermostat regulating temperature. This means that your Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recognized that your engine is running cooler than it's supposed to). After clearing the code, started the truck and went for a ride- no fans and temp started rising up normally. I may still replace the t-stat, truck has 117K so a new tstat couldn't hurt. But before you replace either of these parts, clear your codes...you might save yourself a little time and money. This all started after we replaced the radiator and power flushed the cooling system. I wasn't having any issues other than a very minor radiator leak. When I got my truck back I noticed the temp wouldn't climb and the fans were roaring on high- cleared the codes as mentioned above and fans stop coming on, temp rose to 210...back to normal.

Thanks! If the thermostat is not closing properly, you will likely get the fault again. Good luck!

Exact same issue, exact same fix. Thanks so much!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Excellent!

Thanks for your input. Counting cleanup and putting my tools away was just under an hour. I didn’t have to clear any codes because nothing popped up. The only indication was the temperature flatlined and the fan continued to run after the engine was turned off for about 5 minutes. Thanks again!

Excellent!

About to change mine. Hope it works. Thanks for the video.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Good luck!

Had the same problem with my 14 Sierra. Changed both the sensor and thermostat, so far so good. Hopefully it's fixed now. Since I bought it mine always ran about 185 and I thought that was normal, now it's consistently running about 210

I bet it will be fine. Sadly, my truck got totaled shorty after this fix!
