Temperature switch

The car's temperature switch is an important component in the cooling system. A sensor is used to measure whether the coolant, which cools the engine, is getting too hot. If this is the case, the temperature switch switches on the radiator fan. This will then blow air towards the radiator and the engine until they have cooled down to the desired temperature. Such a switch lasts about 5 years. Nevertheless, regular checking and replacement of the part is recommended. A temperature switch is a relatively inexpensive and easily replaceable part. Regularly checking and replacing the switch will prevent further damage to the engine parts.

Car temperature switch broken

Failure of the temperature switch can seriously affect the engine and surrounding components. Think of the radiator and cylinder head gasket that can burn. The engine of the car can also overheat, which can cause a lot of damage. Therefore, make sure that a temperature switch is replaced as soon as possible if it is defective. Such a switch failure can be recognized by the radiator fan that does not start, which can eventually cause the engine to overheat. In this case, check the switch as well as the radiator fan for defects and replace the parts if necessary.

Replace car temperature switch

Replacing the car's temperature switch is a simple job and you can do it yourself. When replacing the switch, make sure the car is cool and turned off. Then place a drain pan under the mounting area to catch any liquid that leaks during mounting. It is possible that when the switch is loosened, coolant leaks from the radiator. The switch is located next to the radiator of the car and is easy to unscrew. Just make sure you unscrew the switch in the right direction. If you turn it the wrong way, you risk breaking the threads in the radiator. For loosening always applies anti-clockwise, i.e. turning to the left. When you have successfully removed the temperature switch, you can install the new switch. You can tighten the new switch by hand.

Temperature switch

The car's temperature switch turns on the radiator fan when the car gets too hot. This small part therefore has an important function in the cooling process of the car. If this temperature switch no longer works (properly), there is a risk of damage to the engine parts. The engine could even break down completely, because it and the radiator get too hot. The switch has a sensor and switching function. The temperature can be measured with the sensor function. If it exceeds a certain point, the component switches on the radiator fan. You can easily find a new switch with your number plate or car model. Fill this in on the website and the correct car parts will be displayed.
