Have you checked the sensor that turns the fans on???

This was going to be my question. I've also got a 1987 190 and the sensor switch has just failed on mine. Check the sensor as suggested. It's very simple to replace.

Thank you for the message. Please let me know what does sensor looks like? Any guidance?

Thanks.

Ross.

it? with the help of this group and manuals? Or is it a major task?
