What should the coolant temp be on a C5 Ranger?

By using this “Fan Trick” both fans turn on and remain on low-speed, keeping the coolant temperatures close to an ideal 194F while hot-lapping. As always, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the coolant temperature shown in the Driver Information Center (DIC).

Why is my C5 fan controller not working?

This controller or fuse fails. dual radiator fans at the low speed. A different connection, action / response time is observed. This fan operating temperature. IF thermostat. Hayden unit, which is easily correctable. I assume the versions have the same problem. The fuse is located in the wrong on the Orange module (fan motor) wire.

Why do I need a C5 fan trick?

On a C5 motor with a stock engine management computer (ECU/PCM), elevated coolant temps cause the PCM to retard timing, which reduces horsepower. None of us want that. By using this “Fan Trick” both fans turn on and remain on low-speed, keeping the coolant temperatures close to an ideal 194F while hot-lapping.

What should coolant temp be on Corvette 85?

Your 85 came with one main fan and an auxillary fan was an option. The main fan is ECM controled to come on at 227*. If you have the aux fan (found under the front bumper infront of the radiator and is controled by a switch in the right head between #6 and #8 plugs), it will come on at 238*.

What causes a C5 air conditioner to fail?

The last of the most common C5 A/C issues is compressor failure due to leakage. Compressors are the workhorses of the A/C system and are subjected to high temperatures and high PSI in their efforts to keep us cool. In the early stages of compressor failure, you will likely notice diminished cooling as the refrigerant level drops off.
