Just put in new radiator! No leaks at all
SOURCE: replaced cracked radiator in 2000 Chrysler LHS but car still overheating. What could be the problem?
fix the radiator first.because coolant temperature sensor need to be in antifreeze.when antifreeze get up to 190 degrees. the coolant sensor act as a thermostat.it resistance decrease then the pcm will command cooling fans to run.if antifreeze low the coolant temperature sensor not going to work. engine is going to over heat.
SOURCE: 1997 Chrysler LHS is overheating
If when you replaced coolant you noticed taht it fills slowly, the radiator could be internally blocked. Usually it can be flushed or if really bad, replace it. Also have the radiator checked for hydrocarbons...any in there tells you that there is a head gasket problem.

The fans are turned on by the PCM, if the PCM is not telling the fans to turn on, they won't even if everything tests fine.

1. Partially drain the cooling system.
2. Remove accessory drive belt.
3. Carefully unbolt air conditioning compressor from front of engine. Do not disconnect any A/C hoses from compressor. Temporarily support
compressor to gain access to ECT sensor (3).
4. Disconnect electrical connector (2) from sensor (3).
5. Remove sensor (3) from cylinder block.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply thread sealant to sensor threads.
2. Install ECT sensor (3) to engine.

SOURCE: I own a 1996 chrysler lhs, and my radiator engages
if the ac clutch is on the fan should come on ,turn ac off and see if you get the same result ..
