What should be done next to a 1996 Cadillac Seville on which the temperature gauge continuously rises but the radiator has been replaced?

If you haven't replaced the thermostat, now would be a good time. If that's not it, check the impellers on the water pump. The temperature gage is supposed to rise to around mid level. If you mean it is getting hot, then Replace the thermostat. Also check the operation of the cooling fan and the water pump. Another possibility is that the cooling system needs to be bled. There may be air trapped in the system. another thing we often see with this era northstar is blown head gaskets.

Why is your 90 300zx running hot I replaced radiator radiator hoses radiator temperature sensor AC temperature sensor and AC condenser fan water pump and thermostat is only a year old?
Try replacing the radiator fuse relay
92 Camry engine coolant reservoir boils thermostat and radiator caps replaced radiator replaced 8 mos ago?
You need to check coolant temperature sensor and the water pump.
Why does my car surge and won't start replaced thermostat and radiator?
When the thermostat and radiator were replaced, coolant could have dripped into an electrical connector or a sensor could be disconnected or damaged. Check the temperature sensor and crankshaft sensors first.
You have replaced cooling system radiatorthermostatwater pumpetc 85 cadillac deville still overheating?
Could be a collapsed lower radiator hose, perhaps a bad thermostat.
2000 Ford Escort ZX2 temperature gauge gets no reading Replaced temperature sensor radiator full of coolant Any Ideas?
Be careful there is a temperature coolant switch mounted next to the thermostat housing. I thought this was the sensor and replaced it by mistake. There is another sensor.
What will cause the car temperature run hot if you have replaced the radiator and the thermostat?
the hoses leading to and from your radiator might be clogged. If you had a rusty radiator, the rust may have clogged the hoses that carry the coolant. you should check all your hoses and even flush them out.
Your 1999 buick lesabre just had the radiator replaced and then the heater core went out should they have replaced the heater core when they replaced the radiator?
If your heater core wasn't leaking at the time your radiator was replaced , then ( no ) That would be two separate jobs
1996 Jeep Cherokee It only overheats with the air conditioner ON and IDLING. after normal driving it cools to normal temperature after resuming driving speed. Replaced the radiator cap thermo etc..?
The cooling fan should run continuously when the A/C is on. See if it is running, and if not check the fuse, and thermal relay. If they are good, see if the fan motor itself it good. If all this checks out, the drain and flush the radiator with a chemical flush. Also make sure the front of the radiator is free of debris.
You just replaced your radiator and overflow tank on your 1997 Cadillac Deville Concourse It doesn't overheat but smokes from under the hood What is the problem?
check radiator for small leaks or cooling lines which would most definitely cause it 2 steam when running after awhile
What can be used to stop car radiator from leaking?
The radiator will need to be replaced. Sometimes, it may seem that the radiator itself is leaking but it could be the radiator "hose" that is leaking. In this case, the radiator hose needs to be replaced and clamped tightly.
Cooling fan won't run for radiator What could cause this?
There is a sensor that detects temperature to turn the fan on in some vehicles, this sensor may need to be replaced.
1969 Cadillac hearse and it is running really warm you replaced the water pump and the thermostat what else could it be?
I had a similar experience with my 68 Fleetwood Series 75 Limo. The problem was a plugged radiator. Cadillac uses a 4-row radiator for these heavy duty vehicles just to keep them from overheating. Before I replaced the radiator, I would make sure the lower radiator hose is not weak. A weak lower hose can "suck closed" starving the water pump for water and resulting in over heating. Make sure the lower hose has a spring in it. This spring is there to prevent the hose from getting sucked closed under normal conditions. There is a powerful suction created by the water pump and can collapse the lower hose without the spring. Baring problems with the hoses (and you have replaced other possible causes), I would suspect the radiator is getting old and plugged up. I did not have any success with radiator cleaning as it was so old and weak, it had to be replaced. Overheating is a thing of the past now.
