My fans comes on the A/C is on, but when it is off and my car is running the car gets hot after driving for awhile. I noticed that that fans don't come on. It must be the temperature sensor. My question is how can i bypass it so that it runs when the car is on?
Just connect the two wires that are connected to the sensor which will keep the fan running when the ignition is on.
The suggestion I gave you is just a temporary fix to keep you from over heating but the other guys are right in that you should replace the sensor. Do not connect to a power supply that is not controlled by the ignition switch as the fan will continue to run even with the engine off. Just connect the two wires together and the fan will come on when the ignition switch is on and off when it is off. Replace the sensor!

Bypassing something isnt a solution, i would try starting cheap, a tempurature sensor isnt an extremely expensive part, try replacing it, not making it insignificant, you will propably end up ruining a more expensive part.

yes i understand that but i have to get to and from work today and for the next couple of days until i can change it. It won't be a permanent thing just a temporary fix.
Can I splice the wires at the bottom of the radiator that's connected to the temp. sensor?
So, I did not have to cut any wires . I have a 1994 Toyota Camry Le. I followed the temp. sensor connection from the bottom of the radiator to a link that's located on the top right next to the radiator and the battery. With the ignition in the on position I disconnected that link and the fan comes on. This is a Temporary fix. No 12v power wire needed, No cutting any wires just a simple disconnection of a link. But I do want to thank you guys for your help.
