Its the 5.7L v8. I already changed the Coolant temp Sensor on the engine below the exhaust manifold. Just wondering where the Radiator Temp switch/sensor is? Is it the one on the Water pump? just wondering because my fans are kicking on too late around 230 degrees? Thanks.
 
it is either on top of the motor or on top side of the radiator or middle side of the radiator

let car idle enough to have the fans go on, unplug any plug located on the radiator to see when the fans go off, there it is!
no plugs here????
unplugging plugs on top of the motor may set the engine light on, do not guess here,
If no plugs on the radiator........go to parts store and buy a new one,, then compare it to a match on top of the motor.
 
230 Is where thev are supposed to come on. The computer contols the fan. The coolant temp sensor should be close to the water outlet.
