Started our ZT 120 today just to swap cars around on the drive (TF needs attention) and noticed the main radiator fan came on very quickly. Car was still cold, temperature needle barely moved from stop. Fan stopped as soon as engine turned off.
Some reading suggests this might be a problem with the coolant temperature sensor- if it isn't delivering a signal the car 'plays safe' and turns on the fan.
This will sound really sad, but where is the sensor located??
Or, anything else might need checked?
