problem #5

Monte Carlo LS 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,000 miles

I don't have a complaint because i have not brought the car in yet. I just open the hood, unhook one of the battery cables and i am set for another day or two. It is not happening since it got warm. I am wondering if having the a/c on eliminates the problem.

Same issue as others have mentioned. Temp gauge stops working in cold weather and fan runs for about 30 minutes after shut down when gauge isn't working.

problem #3

Oct 012007

Monte Carlo SS

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

The weirdest part about the temp gauge not working is that when the temperature outside is above 60 degrees, it works. Below that (which in Ohio is quite ofter) the temp gauge stops working and the check engine lights comes on - pointing to a sensor (which I have replaced). But, with the gauge not working it is causing my fan to run constantly.
