Cooling fan relay 98 plymouth voyager
If you're experiencing issues with the cooling fan relay in your 1998 Plymouth Voyager, there could be several reasons behind it. The cooling fan relay is responsible for controlling the operation of the cooling fan, which helps regulate the engine temperature by dissipating heat.
Here are some common reasons why the cooling fan relay might be causing problems:
- Relay Failure: Over time, relays can wear out or become damaged due to electrical faults or excessive heat. If the cooling fan relay has failed, it may not properly engage the cooling fan when needed, leading to overheating.
- Electrical Issues: Faulty wiring or connections can disrupt the flow of electricity to the cooling fan relay, preventing it from functioning correctly. Inspect the wiring harness and connections for any signs of damage or corrosion.
- Temperature Sensor Malfunction: The cooling fan relay is often triggered by signals from the engine's temperature sensor. If the sensor is faulty or sending incorrect signals, it may not activate the cooling fan relay when necessary.
- Faulty Cooling Fan Motor: If the cooling fan motor itself is defective or worn out, it may not respond to signals from the relay, even if the relay is functioning correctly. Check the cooling fan motor for any signs of damage or wear.
- Blown Fuse: In some cases, a blown fuse can cause the cooling fan relay to malfunction. Check the fuse box for any blown fuses related to the cooling fan system and replace them if necessary.
To diagnose the exact cause of the issue, you may need to perform some electrical tests or consult a mechanic with experience in automotive electrical systems. They can use diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem and recommend the appropriate repairs or replacements.
I have 1 1996 Plymouth voyager what type of brake fluid do I use?
Mineral and vegetable oil brake fluids became obsolete many years ago apart from a very few exceptions and these were replaced by a universal glycol based type which is virtually the only type available from the majority of retailers.
Early glycol fluids had a relatively low boiling point and have been replaced by types with higher boiling points so currently there is generally two types available - in Europe these are DOT 4 and Dot 5.
DOT 4 is suitable for all clutch and brake systems (apart from a few exceptions) of low and medium performance vehicles and DOT 5 for the braking systems of high performance vehicles. Most people most of the time find DOT 4 a better all-round fluid and because the information surrounding DOT 5 (and 5.1) tends to be vague and suggests at least some are silicone based which can be harmful to some hydraulic seals.
The main problem with glycol based fluids is many braking hydraulic systems are vented to atmosphere and the fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs atmospheric moisture which lowers the boiling point. This is why a brake fluid change is part of the modern service and maintenance schedule.
My 1994 voyager van gas gauge stopped working
need to test float mechanism in the tank .Sorry this is not a answer you want like fit a new fuse number whatever ? on top of the tank under the back seat is access to the unit ,use a multimeter :
