Cooling fans run all the time.

Ooops.
It turns out when I disconnect my intake temp sensor it makes no difference! I believe the remaining things are;
To test the radiator temperature sensor, do I unplug it to see if it stops the fans as per the intake temperature sensor?
Also, a friend mentioned using a multimeter to test the fan controller. Could someone elaborate on how to do this?
Cheers!

Why do you need all the original temp sensors? Are you still using the original hardwire logic?
You have a TecGT.
For base maps, it needs one for water Temp and one for air temp. Though you could wire additional sensors if you wished to get additional data to tweak the Maps. Supercharger temp, pressure, etc.
The TecGT can control the fan(s) on it's own, using one of the spare outputs, based on where you set the temp point to turn the fan(s) on. You would need a relay to do this though. Two relays if you want to use two outputs for two seperate fans that come on at different temps.
And the Tec can use the original water bridge sensor or a GM, Ford , etc., as long as it fits.
Recalibration in the Tec software could and probably would be required ANY time you change a sensor, even with the same mfg. part.
The 2nd water bridge sensor is for the dash gauge.
NOT making any recomendations. Just giving you some facts.
