I have a '99 maxima with 135000 miles on it and the radiator cooling fans run continuously after the car warms up. The water temp is @ 205 deg and the fans do not cut off until 196 deg. I have changed 2 thermostats, radiator, CTS, and water pump. Is this normal if not please help.

Were the parts all new Nissan?

What is condition of ac condenser [any deformed fins/air blockages/corrosion]?Aftermarket rads may not be as efficient as new oem but usually run only a few degrees hotter

Antifreeze mixture is no higher than 50/50?

The thermostats were not Nissan. One thing I did notice is the new ones do not have the bypass hole in the disc. Could this effect flow?? or hinder removal of trapped air??
