  • Hot wired? It would be simpler to disconnect in winter than add more home-made stuff. Oct 17, 2022 at 19:38

  • If your Chevy uses a coolant sensor to send temperature signals to the pcm, it may have failed. The temperature gauge may be displaying incorrectly too when it depends on the coolant sensor sending correct signals to the pcm to drive the gauge. An alternate radiator fan switch can be the variable temperature sensor with its probe inserted into the radiator. The adjustable temperature dial customizes turn on/off temp.
