Temperature sender.

Gday guys, im new to this forum, so if its been asked 100s of times, please be gentle......
Anyway, on my sc vt i am having some over heating issues, the thermos are not activating, although the engine is hot, i have replaced the relays, and when i hook up direct power to the fans they work with no issues, I know its getting hot as we all know the smell, but the temp gauge does not even get to half, so my suspisions are that the temp sender may not be sending the right info.

Any thoughts and the location of the temp sender would be appreciated.

Cheers guys, and great forum.....

I'm sure you'll get some help, but only post your problem up in one thread

Ahhh Yesss! The old "Relay Trick" You say you have replaced the relays, well are you aware that the Fan Control Relay in the relay box is a "5 LUG" Relay NOT a 4 Lug Relay. My guess is that you have put a 4 Lug relay in the receptacle (yes it will fit) instead of a 5 Lug Relay. Its a real nuisance & GMH should be shot for allowing this intermix of relays to occur so easily. Anyway I reckon thats your problem , check & see.
