- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- 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 😖
th-cam.com/video/Eg9WHoREFJA/w-d-xo.html
that's a bummer...glad all are safe!
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
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 😅
Oops!
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, TH-cam, and this guy. Perfect video easy fix
Thank you!
Same here. 2023 Thanksgiving Day, found this video and had it repaired under an hour.
Thank you sir.
Ironically my 2014 silverado just started doing this on the way home and just watched it. Gonna try this tomorrow.😊
@MyClutteredGarage , might be obvious with all the fix comments, but just curious, did the issue ever come back?
@@ikedee1880 well I won’t know because unfortunately this happened a month later :(
th-cam.com/video/Eg9WHoREFJA/w-d-xo.html
You are a lifesaver! Truck started having the same problem yesterday and I found your video late last night after doing research. Replaced the thermostat today and the truck is back to normal. Definitely saved me a lot of money right before Christmas.
Glad it helped!
Just changed both the temp gage and thermostat. Money in the bank. Thank u my friend. Rod from SoCal.
Awesome!
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.
This just happened to me as I'm driving to work. Can I drive it back home? About 17 miles, I going to buy the parts and install them tonight.
Good luck! You can drive it.
Is your temp reading inside the truck or is it stuck at "160". I replaced the sensor before but have the problem again a year or so later. Not getting any temp reading on my dash
Mine was stuck at 160 until I replaced the thermostat and reset the codes.
Excellent fix! Good diagnosis and thanks for taking us along.
Thanks Ross!
Thank you!!! Just finished doing this work just over an hour ago, did the thermometer & sensor and saved me over $500 doing it myself. Your video was extremely helpful.
Great! Hope that solved the problem! Thank you.
My 2014(107k miles) is showing exactly the same symptoms your describing. This will save me a lot doing it myself. Thanks for the great video.
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
Glad it helped! Thank you!
Glad I found your video. I will be making the fix tomorrow! I had the same issue with the fan and temp at 160 but it has been intermittent since last fall. When the truck seems to be working fine, I also noticed the temp only reaches part way to 210 as well. You mentioned mileage being an issue too. I have noticed my mileage has been worse lately as well. Hopefully this will be a win win all around. Thanks again. Have a great day.
Thank you. Good luck!
All fixed. Temp is good, no leaks, and I'll see about the mileage performance over time. Thanks again.
Me too. I had this happen to me today.
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!
Thank you!
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE FOX
When I was going to change the thermostat, I decided to disconnect the battery for 1 minute and made contact with the disconnected positive cable with the negative cable of the battery without disconnecting, and when I started the engine it ran perfectly. I don't know if I'll have the problem again, but for now everything is perfect. Good luck.
I reset the codes before replacing my thermostat. The problem resurfaced after a week or so. But good luck! 👍
This was *Excellent* Information ... *Thank You*
Perfect - just like you said. I went and ordered both parts (just in case) and installed the thermostat for my 2016 Silverado. It took about 30 minutes. Worked perfectly. I took the temp sensor back and got my $17.🥰
Nice!
Good morning Ed. So if the temp gauge reads below 210, it’s the thermostat issue. If the temp gauge doesn’t read at all. Stuck at 160 (all the way left) it’s a temp sensor issue? Sometimes my temp gauge works and sometimes it doesn’t and check engine light comes on. When it works it’s good at 210. When it doesn’t it’s stuck at 160 all the way left. What u think? Thank you.
Good morning. That’s a tough call. If the gauge reads 210 when it’s working, it sounds like the thermostat is ok? My gut tells me that these thermostats are a weak point on these trucks. So the thermostat could be sticking open when you don’t realize it and sending it into fault mode. Hit or miss, but I still bet it’s the thermostat. Start with either one, or just change both. Thank you and good luck!
Appreciate your video! Followed it to a T and it was an easy enough fix! Saved me quite a bit of money vs taking into a shop. Thank you
Awesome! Good luck!
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.
Hopefully this fixes my issue. Prior to replacing the sensor I just pulled the negative terminal and it reset the system and was fine when I restarted the truck. But more than likely would go out again soon if I didn’t. Easy fix. Released pressure from the radiator cap prior so when I pulled the sensor it was a small spit of fluid 5 percent of what came out in the video.
Good luck!
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!
Great to hear!
After 10 months is it still working good. I have 15 silcerado with the same problem. I have switched the coolant switch once and be good for two yrs. Bought a new and went out in two days. Dont knkw what to think now if to change the Thermostat. Sheesh
I would definitely change the thermostat if you haven't yet. Unfortunately, I had an accident shortly after this fix, so I don't have any long term info. Check this out: th-cam.com/video/Eg9WHoREFJA/w-d-xo.html
My man, you just saved me a few hundred bucks and a day waiting for my truck to get fixed. Taking my time and re-watching certain parts a few times, it took me 40 minutes and cost me 80 bucks. 😁
Awesome! Good luck!
I am having this issue right now. Now I’ve seen 2 videos with the same information. Unfortunately I will still have to take it to someone. But at least I know!
Good luck!
Just wanted to say “Thanks” amigo !! You were absolutely 100% spot on ! Bought a new thermostat at autozone for $54.00 … installed it “Bingo” !! FIXED !! Your install video was a great help too … I was clueless on how to install it … your video was awesome … had it done in about an hour 👍. thanks again man !!
Nice work! Thank you!
I skipped the sensor replacement and went straight for the thermostat since I wasn't getting warning lights, only excessive fan speeds.
How long before the process resets itself? I drive around the block, but the problem still exists.
Should I replace the sensor too, or drive it a little longer?
If you can't clear the codes with OBD2 scanner, keep driving for a few days. A local parts supply store should read and reset the codes for free.
Work for O'Reilly's auto parts changed the sensor & thermostat together working fine now.
Excellent!
Thank you I will be changing this when I get the chance because my fan will turn on immediately at start up and stay on when I turn it off.. again thank u and god bless
Good luck! Thanks!
Will loosening the coolant tank cap before starting release the pressure before starting to remove hoses? I noticed this truck doesn't have a typical radiator cap or top tank. Thanks again for the video.
I don’t think so. Be sure to let the truck cool down completely.
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!!
Great!
Why didn't you reinstall the old temperature sensor to see if it was still good? Also, using a cheap reader can be a big part of the problem, as I took mine to a auto parts store and theirs read a sensor issue,. But when I went to the dealership, their more sophisticated computer said it was the thermostat, not the sensor.
Nice. That would have been interesting to put the old sensor back. Sadly, this truck was totaled not long after this repair.
th-cam.com/video/Eg9WHoREFJA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sVfWaeM0mmrA_8Wl
I appreciate you sir. Great video that solved problem I’ve always had in the summer.
Awesome! Thanks!
I'm gonna give it a try and see. I'm having exactly this problem...
Good luck!
I just ran into the problem because i changed out my temp sensor 2 months ago but then the fans would stay on everynow and then. I discontected the negative and somehow ran into a check engine light that wont go away. I now changed the thermostat and have yet to see the code go away so i will be running to autozone to clear my codes see if that fixes the issue
Good luck! Hope it works!
I have the same problem I m go replace the termostato thanks for the video sir!!
Good luck!
how do i reset the codes? i replaced both, and nothing worked for me. not sure if its just because i need to reset the codes? or... im not good with mechanical stuff.
Some say disconnecting the positive battery terminal for several minutes will reset it. But most parts stores should offer to reset for free. You can also buy an inexpensive OBD2 reader and clear the codes yourself very easily. Here’s an affiliate link if you’re interested. amzn.to/41hFzmg
If you replace that sensor by the thermostat make sure you unhook your battery after you replace it. That’s all I did. Thermostat was still good fans didn’t come on truck hasn’t overheated and is running at the right temperature. Thought I’d put this on there, so someone doesn’t buy a thermostat that they don’t need. If my truck overheats, I’ll let you know on here. So far no overheating, and running at right temperature. Plus when you unhook the positive cable it would clear the codes do you have in your computer.
I feel like the constant coolant stream dancing and squirting out should be named in the credits at least! That was interesting!!😂
I just changed both and im still having this problem of my fans going full blast what could i do
Did you clear the codes? If not, it will take some time for the computer to recognize the fix.
My GMC Sierra just started doing this this afternoon. Wonder if it's the same issue?
Good luck!
Thanks a bunch! I have the same exact issue
Question sir I don’t if you can give me a update did the issue came back again???
Hi. Please see my pinned comment. Unfortunately we were involved in an accident soon after and the truck was totaled. th-cam.com/video/Eg9WHoREFJA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pQfdFvKp86Wp5htD
Thanks for making this video…
My Truck has been rebuilt and has been broken down more often than not… I just wanted to be able to fix this myself.. I hope it does the trick.
Thanks. Good luck!
Had change my thermostat the other day but I had reset the computer get the fan to shut off
Yes you should clear the codes. Good luck!
Is the thermostat the cause also if in summer the gauge stays little bit above normal? like 3/4 high?
It’s very likely that it’s the thermostat. Good luck!
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.
Awesome! Congratulations! You saved about $750. Maybe more 👍
Yes sir! Thanks again for the video!
Thank you for this video. Also I am glad that you and yours were able to walk away from that accident. Glad you are all OK and as the say the rest is just metal.. I just came across your video while searching for cause for the fans running. I have a 2014 Suburban and plan on swapping the thermostat to start. I'll let you and your viewers know how it turns out.
Thank you for your kind comments. Good luck! -Ed
I get no codes, however I notice my fans turning on erratically (even when first start up in the morning) and my temperature is always on the line left of 210 degrees. (no codes) Should I just change both thermostat and sensor?
Changing the sensor and the thermostat is probably your least expensive starting point. Although that does sound different than the symptoms I experienced.
@@MyClutteredGarage Thanks, I think I will just go ahead and switch them out since Im at 93k
@@flyonawall6521 good luck! You may still need to clear the codes afterward.
Perfect. Thank you
Great job troubleshooting Ed, and nice "how to". I'm guessing you shot this before your trip to Lowes?
(You see what I did there? 😉🤣)
Haha yes I did!!! And yes I did 😉
Replaced thermostat an thermostat sensor. Still wont turn off. 2016 chevy tahoe. Any suggestions
Did you clear the codes?
Disconnected the negative battery terminal for a few minutes. Hooked it back up, problem solved. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the informative video! I had the "demonic possesed fan" problem in a 2017. Scan tool showed the coolant temp rarely getting over 140F. I replaced both the TStat and sensor at the same time, about a 15 minute job. After, I realized my truck had been running cooler and cooler for a while and my mileage was dropping! 😉 I always had good heat, so I attributed it to winter weather and mostly short trips. I'm pretty sure the real problem was the TStat, but the sensor was cheap and easy enough to replace while I was there. Now the temp gauge reaches straight up and down and the fuel mileage has improved.
Nice! Oddly I was noticing a fuel economy issue too. These new-fangled computerized machines :)
Changed sensor and worked for a day? Changed out themostat works good now.
Great! 🤞
The codes can be very helpful in diagnosing a problem. My guess is it was the thermostat. $60 for a thermostat?! why, I remember when they were about $3.00.... back when I made $2.00 per hour! 🙂
Right?! 🤣
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!
Thank you thank you thank you… changed the sensor out a few months back.. was fine til about two weeks ago… been racking my brain on this… changed out the thermostat today… drove all over… has been sitting at 210 and no fan…
Excellent!
I just wanted to give a big thank you for this video. This really helped me out alot in the situation i was in this morning. I replaced both which helped out alot !! 😊👍🏽 thanks again!!
Awesome! Glad it helped! Thank you. -Ed
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!
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!
You are a lifesaver! This issue occurred with my wife's Tahoe and just happened with my Silverado last night. Both vehicles will be fixed in the morning!
Thanks! Good luck! Be sure to clear the codes afterward.
@@MyClutteredGarage Thanks, will do!
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.
Awesome! Thank you.
Same issue I have right now thanks for the video.
Good luck!
Thank you so much Sir.
God Bless.
Good luck!
Mine literaly just got stuck on for the first time about an hour ago after i.pulled into the driveway. My temp gauge was at 160, and fan was running wide open. I live in southern ky, and its pretty chilly outside. I have a 2016 chevy 1500 model. Glad i found this video. Also my temp gauge rarely ever gets up to 210. Its usually around 180, so tomorrow im replacing the thermostat.
Hope it helps! Thank you.
Thank you for posting this! I have had the EXACT same symptoms over the last few weeks and today I heard my cooling fans kick in at full blast when I stopped at the traffic light. When I got home my fans stayed on for a very long time and my upper radiator hose was ICE cold with no pressure.
Thanks! Good luck!
I can confirm this. My fans stayed on the other day... I changed the thermostat first. It worked. "Pro tips"... Disconnect the battery. The computer won't reset and the fans will still run if you don't. (Ask me how I know). The bungee isn't really necessary...it's only for 1 bolt. You'll need extra antifreeze. I spilled about 2 or 3 qts. Don't over-torque the bolts. (A bit more than snug is good), or the housing will crack. Either do this on dirt, or have a hose handy to rinse everything off when your done. Especially if you have a dog. (Antifreeze and dogs can be deadly).
I has same problem with my 2015 gmc sierra
Hope it helps!
Perfect video to explain and show repair. Seems best to replace both because of location and they work together. Seems if the gauge stays at 160 it would be a sensor issue, mine doesnt even do the gauge scan at start up.
Interesting about the gauge scan. Did you read the codes?
@@MyClutteredGarage no, nothing showing on dash and do not have a reader. I just figured, as with any computer stuff, reset and try again. Sometimes my factory radio needs reset and then its fine for months. I will see if it works over a period of time, if not I will let you know, but ya, all the gauges at start up do a fan scan and settle where current readings are. But when this was happening the temp Guage does not move during start up, so to me its all electrical, not mechanical. Ghosts in the machine
@@MyClutteredGarage For a 3 week update. Working perfectly by just the reset. Still does the gauge scan "sweep" at startup as it should for all gauges. One way to see is put a manual temp gauge in for test and see if the thermostat, a manual mechanical feature that does not send a signal to a computer or gauge, only the sensor or wiring or computer or gauge itself would be to blame if the thermostat is opening and closing as it should. If the thermostat is stuck open or closed the gauge should reflect overheating or too cold it the other parts mentioned are working properly. On a Duramax we were reading low oil pressure,the gauge and sent a code. But engine sounded fine.....of course a "mechanic" wanted $2500 to replace the oil pump......I suggested putting on a mechanical oil pressure gauge and viola, we had correct oil pressure, we flashed the computer and it work for awhile.....same issue again......beings its all trial and error anymore beyond mechanical parts when it intermittent,we then replaced sensor......6 months no issue yet. It seems sensors and computers to tell you if the mechanical item is working fail more often than the mechanical item. Fun Fun.
Awesome video..mine started doing the same thing..i have a question for people that know about vehicles more than me,if i drive it fot a couple days with the problem will it hurt the motor or anything? Thank you
I drove mine for weeks before I figured it out. With mine, the problem was that the truck was not getting warm enough, so there was no issue with driving it.
@MyClutteredGarage that's what mine is doing,it's staying at 160 and the fan constantly blows,even for awhile after turned off..thank you for the help
@YT-DAD-BASS-ASSASSIN good luck!
@@MyClutteredGarage thank you for the help
Bonjour Ed, You have a very nice truck 😇👍 Yes noisy motorcycles,,,, 😤 You Did an OUTSTANDING Mechanical Repair Success Mission Task 💪👍🧐 Nice Puppy dog 😇👍 Have a nice week end Ed 👍😇Cheers 🍻
Thank you David!
Dealership want almost 500 for this repair
I’m sure!
2016 Sierra 6.2 and this video was spot on! The hardest part of the whole repair was choosing the tstat assembly and temp sensor as there were many to choose from! Thanks for sharing the video with us!
Awesome! Thank you!
Vortec by chance? Also, what’d ya end up going with for the tstat??
No an EcoTec
I don’t remember the brand but I bought the whole assembly which included the o ring gasket and lifetime warranty
Thermostat $13.99 eBay
GREAT VIDEO THANKYOU FOR SHARING!
Thank you!
i just payed 233 big bucks up here in northern canada thx i like your video
Thank You 💪🏾
I have two of these, a 2014 and a 2015 ( both 1500s with the AFM/DOD 🤮 5.3 ) nothing but problems with both. I fixed it by selling them and I bought a Toyota Tacoma. Haven't had any issues since.
THANK YOU!!!!
Unhooking the battery for 15 minutes turning the key on well it’s unhooked then hook it back up and start the truck illuminates resetting the codes it calls for fresh codes on the restart
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 👍
Awesome!
thanks. this worked right away.
Great!
Amazing fix. Thanks a ton!
Thanks! Good luck!
Thermostat
Thank you so much, this was it!!!
Awesome!
Just changed both 11/4/23. 89 inch lbs. on the tq. Fans came on ran it to temp shut it off then restarted it no fans never had a code at any time😊
I was having the same issue! And I did it myself and saved about $900, got it replaced, only issue now is my codes won't reset??
Are you using a code reader to clear the codes?
@MyClutteredGarage I think I went to auto zone, and they plugged it and and tried to clear it but it said "error clearing codes failed" I'm about to get a $10 electrical piece that's connects to the sensor After that I'm out of options.
@MyClutteredGarage And also my check engine light is not on. And all my gauges are reading perfectly fine.
@MyClutteredGarage I drove it around. A little over 10 miles to see if it will reset and also disconnect it the battery negative and positive for about 10 minutes and that still didn't work.
2015 Suburban LTZ -- appreciate the detailed video. Our fans stuck on without a temp gauge signal around 102k miles, changed the temp sensor then and it fixed it, but issue returned at 111k miles, again with no temp gauge signal (
Good luck! Thanks!
Do you recall what code got thrown?
Sorry I don’t. Might have been P0128.
Thank you very much for sharing this video. I fixed my 2015 just as you directed and had no issues!!! Thank you very much. Life saver!!!
I wonder if you could do a hard reset on that Ed.
Looks good
Very helpful video. I’ll be picking the parts up this morning and hopefully that’s all it is. Thanks for putting this together bud! 👊🏻
Good luck! Thanks!
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!
Because there is a p0128 thermostat stuck open, as long as that code is stored you'll have a fan problem
Thanks for the video Ed I have a Silverado LTD let’s go one step further if you still have your old parts check continuity on that sensor and then put it in boiling water and see if the continuity reacts differently. Also, put your old thermostat into boiling water and see if it opens. Just my opinion. Have a great weekend.
Ltz not ltd
Good test!
You need to change the thermostat regardless if that fixes your fan run problem. Sticking open
Thank you for this amazing video, engine light and fans came on while driving to work, watched your video picked up a thermostat on way home and fixed it in less than 30 minutes, and for under $100
Thank you!
Same issue right now i got code U1510 ECM cannot communicate with active grill shutter over the LIN bus. But i get the same thing fans on full blast and truck doesnt get to normal operating temperatures it stays at 160
I had the very same problem. replaced the temp. sensor and worked great for about a week. Then followed your advice and replaced the thermostat. Now working fine and warms up to 210 F just like new. So far so good we will see over time. I am suspect of the connector that engages the sensor, so I have on hand a new connector just in case I need it. Original connector may not be staying in locked position.
Thanks for you help!!
Great! Hope it does the trick!
Thank you for this very instructional video!! I changed the sensor in my 2015 tahoe awhile back but the problem came back but thanks to your video and instructions I will
Be changing the thermostat out!! Great video thanks again!!!
Good luck!
Thanks. This worked for me
Great!
Fixed. Easy. Thanks.
Awesome! Good luck!
