Hey guys, I hope you guys have been well,

I yet have another issue with my 2009 Dodge Caliber SE.

I Replaced the radiator not too long ago due to a crack that was causing me to lose coolant, just today though I noticed my temp gauge rising slightly above the average operation temp, luckily I was right around the corner, I got home, pulled into my driveway and opened the hood, I noticed the upper radiator hose and I just felt it (around the metal clamp) and I could feel hot water on it, Maybe I need a new clamp? I was searching online and It said that the water could've been leaking due to the temperature rising above normal and the water escaped through the lowest point of resistance, Possible? And I also wanted to know if it could be an issue with the coolant temperature sensor, because I looked and the cooling fans are not coming on? where is this exactly located?

Thanks for the help.....again!

Start the car and turn on the AC...the cooling fans should come on. If they don't you have a fault...either the fans are faulty or the relays for them (in the infamous relay box behind just in front of the left front wheel) are possibly bad
