got a 02 sebring with a 2.7.. cooling fans arent kicking on..

I replaced the water neck housing cause it was leaking.. it had the new ect installed in the housing ( cooling fans didnt work before) anyway if i disconect the ect, the fans kick on after a short delay.. if i hook the ect back up they will kick off after a delay.. I didnt find any fuses or broken wires.. I tried looking online for a diagram but no luck. I think its either wiring or the pcm. Oh almost forgot the dash temp gauge doesnt work either..nor do the dash lights.. I beleive the ect sends a signal to the pcm, which then send a signal to the cooling fan realys to turn the fans on, also at the same time the pcm sends a signal to the dash gauge so the driver can monitor the engine temp.. Plus the pcm uses the ect data to comand other operations like air fuel mixture at cold starts and idle..

anyone have a test proceedures?

thanks

ok i found out how to test the ect, and it seems good.. so its either the wiring or pcm, or could it be something else.. the temp gauge still doesnt work..

The cooling fans are not suposed to come on till it is around 220* are you letting it get that hot?

yes, gets to the point it starts to overheat.. then if i unplug the ect the fans come on and the car cools down, but also the temp gauge doesnt work so i have to use a fluke meter
