[pepito4802]

Hi I'm Omar and I'm new to this forum I've always went on forums to read issues I've had with vehicles I own ...this is the first time I join
I have a 2016 Tahoe ltz I replaced the temperature sensor because the fans were running full blast and the temp gauge was not moving
The fans are still running hing and gauge is not working what should I do next

buy another OEM sensor and verify the thermostat is not stuck
there is a rash of bad sensors out there

generally speaking you can just feel the radiator hoses both should feel approx the same temp after a drive, but if one is noticeably cooler that would indicate the coolant is not flowing properly. same if the heater is not blowing hot air and is only luke warm
