SOURCE: Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

I have a 2006 and had the same problem. The car was still under warranty, so I took it in for repair. Several times. They finally replaced the thermostat and that solved the issue. Try that.

Good luck and please let me know how it works out for you.

SOURCE: 1999 Chevy Cavalier Horn Relay Location

The relay is located under the glove compartment. Little difficult to get to but if you peek your head just underneath, you'll see it. Easy to take out and replace. Ive replaced mine and still have a problem. I hear a clicking noise and even can feel the contact when horn is pressed. I changed the horn about 1yr ago and now am wondering if the horn could have gone out so soon.

SOURCE: Where is the temperature sending unit located on a

The temperature sending unit is screwed into cylinder head. Careful you also have a coolant temperature sensor that threads into intake manifold. Temp sending unit is how your guage knows how hot your engine is. Coolant temp sensor is how your computer knows how hot or cold your engine is, so it can compensate fuel & air mixture.You can not put the wrong one in the wrong place, they will not fit. You change 1 for 1 reason & the other for another reason.

SOURCE: cannot find the a/c recharge

The low pressure evaporative port (green cap) near the firewall,The re-charge port is usually BEFORE the compressor or ON the compressor itself.
Any HOSE or PORT coming out of the compressor is the High side.
There are two ports on the A/C lines. One high pressure (bigger) and one low pressure (smaller). You will add the R143a into the Low Pressure port (smaller port) on the A/C line coming out of the A/C compressor (one that is belt driven).The compressor is usually located in the middle front of the engine.Follow the serpentine belt, the long belt that goes around the components.

----------For ac recharge port:-- Follow the larger hose from the compressor Could be near the drier at the passenger side firewall its located between the evaporator and compressor.--------the other possibility is -- A/C service ports are located on the drivers side of the vehicle in the front, right next to the battery, which is located under the windshield washer reservoir, it will kindof take some contorting to get to it, but thats where GM put it . Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

I need the easiest possible directions to replace the coolant temperature sensor in my 1999 Chevy Lumina ltz 3.8 v6 car please.

The coolant sensor temperature is usually found just beneath the cylinder head, on the engine block.

You just disconnect the 1-2 wires and then undo it with a wrench.
The sensor will look like one of these:
1999 Chevy Lumina ltz 3 8 v6 coolant temperature sensor Google Search

Just be aware .. you may have TWO such sensors on your vehicle.

One sensor (usually with 3-4 electrical pins) is near the thermostat and works in conjunction with other sensors to regulate fuel/air according to engine temperature.

The other type of sensor is in the block near the cylinder head. It sends a signal to the temperature gauge on your dashboard ONLY. If your temp gauge constantly reads too hot or too cold .. this one is the culprit.25939754-r0ibht2u2t2rhetbyfvb2pry-5-0.jpg
If it's a running fault .. speed .. rough running .. fuel. It may look like this:

Location of cooling fan sending unit 1999 cadillac deville?

If you are refering to the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor,it is located on the right rear of the engine below the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve.

HINT: If your Deville is equipped with the analog instrument cluster and the temperature gauge is working, or if you have the digital instrument cluster and the driver information center (DIC) has been diplaying messages telling you that the engine is hot, the problem with your engine cooling fans is NOT the sensor.

My lumina had a radiator hose burst. I fixed it but now my temperature gauge isnt working. I found wire but dont know where it plugs in at. And my car is still smoking from under hood.

The temperature sender unit is located near the thermostat and looks a bit like a miniature spark plug, see below. The smoke could be from coolant that sprayed onto the engine and is burning away but investigate that one further.

Location of 1993 Chevy Lumina temperature gauge sending unit please?

If you follow the top radiator hose from the radiator to the enigine you will see a wire connecting to a screw in like plug. This screw in a the temperature sending unit. Disconnect the wire that is going to it and you should be able to unscrew the plug with a socket and ratchet. Be careful to do this when the engine is cold or you run a high risk of coolant spewing out and burning you. You sill lose some coolant even when it is cold but you shouldnt lose enough to have a problem with the coolant level. After you change it run the car and check the resevoir to make sure you didnot lose to much.

Where is the temperature sending unit on a 1999 VW Passat located.

VW Passat & Audi A4 1990-2000

Motronic System
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the water outlet on the back side of the head. If you vehicle still has a original VW part it will be black in color with a four terminal connector. This device signals the engine management system with the current coolant temperature, the ECU takes this information and uses it to control other such circuits as the idle speed, knock control system, oxygen sensor circuit, exhaust gas recalculation, and fuel tank venting. It is also important to note that if at any time ECU does not receive a signal from the ECT it will substitute a value of 176°F (80°C).

VR6
The Engine Coolant Temperature sensor is mounted in the thermostat housing. The body of the sensor will be blue and the sensor will be blue and have two terminals if it is an original factory VW part.


The engine coolant temperature gauge uses a heat sensitive sending unit to transmit an electrical signal to the gauge. The sending unit is a heat sensitive variable resistor that is located on or near to the cylinder head and threads into an engine coolant passage. The sensors are a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) type. As the temperature increases, the electrical resistance of the sensor decreases. As the coolant temperature changes, so does the resistance of the sensor. The gauge is calibrated within the operating range of the sensor and interprets the resistance value to display the coolant temperature.On models produced prior to 1994, the engine coolant gauge temperature sensor is a single wire terminal sensor.

Beginning with model year 1994, the engine coolant gauge and the Engine Control Module (ECM) temperature sensors were combined into one sensor with 4 terminals. The basic operation remains the same in that their resistance decreases as the coolant temperature increases, however the actual resistance values of the 2 sensor circuits are different. The electrical connector of the 4-wire terminal sensor (1 and 2) is keyed to prevent improper connection of the sensor's electrical circuit.

WARNING When trouble shooting electrical components, always consult a wiring diagram for the particular year, make and model to ensure proper test equipment connection and diagnosis. Failure to use suitable test equipment and testing methods could permanently damage the electrical component(s).
