I know I can buy the 60 dollar summit or jegs electric fan temp switch. But that seems a little high. Anyone know where to get one cheaper? I know autozone sold them but of course they want a make and model vehicle.

Where can I get one of these cheap? I tried e-gay and didn't find much. Anyone know a make and model vehicle that came with an adjustable fan temp switch?


Thanks...

 

hey man just hook it up to a switch..thats what i did..also i think i have my old 1 sitting around i'll sell it to you for 20 shipped if you need it..let me know..my opinion is how is it going to over heat or hit a certain temp to make it turn on if its always on...but i have and after market radiator and a lifted hood mod so i dont have many cooling problems..i just cant figure out why im not getting fuel..anyway let me know thanks-Zach

 

I bought a Derale #13021 in-line switch from Summit for $24 ... I put it in-line which runs from the water pump neck to the BAC. I did not want to use the probe type in my new aluminum radiator. .... no problems so far

 

ya i saw those..theyr nice i have the ugly probe 1 but it worked

 

I got the one from victoria british. It has a sensor that goes on the outside of the radiator core and goes on when it gets too hot. It's adjustable too.

 

That adjustable thermostat is $24.95 through Victoria British/Black Dragon Auto. Just thought I would let you know.

heres one like i have on my car. they work great and you can get them on ebay or O'reilly's for about the same price. oh and it only took me 2-3 minutes to find it on "e-gay"

thats really trashy. what is a reason to do something like that? its usually only around $50 to get a thremostatic fan switch. if you have a manual switch in the car to turn on the fan its going to cause ALOT of problems



thats a really good price

 

i mounted mine in the dash and i thought it looked pretty decent. what kind of problems can a manual switch in the car cause?... my fb never caught fire or exploded. a manual switch is a cheap effective way to control an e-fan as long as you remember to turn the thing on.

 

^^^ The first day you forget to put it on!^^^^^^^^

 

I have a manual switch on mine too, but that's just incase the fan thermostat doesn't operate when I wan't it to, I can switch it on.

 

the adjustable thermostat is $50 most. thats not too much money. and if you forget to turn it on thats a problem,if you loan the car to somebody that could cause a problem. what if you go to a sanctioned road race or deals gap?you would take the concentration on driving away to study the temp and worry about flipping the switch on/off.




ok so when you put yours in how did you wire it up?did you use a low or a high amp switch?did you use a relay or run the power into the cabin and thru the switch?did you use a fuse on this set-up?

 

lol yup a manual switch is a reall no no
i forgot to much and nealy cooked it dozins of times
i just hook a releay yp to the fan and to the positive on the traling coil that way as soon as u swich the key on the fan go's
no need for anything else plain and simple

i think me over heating it to much caused my apex to blow months later so dont do a manual switch

and yes im not correcting my spelling

 

50amp switch, 10 ga. wire and a 25 amp fuse

 

I got my adjustable fan controller from Autozone for 18 bucks. They keep it in the back with the parts, not out on the shelf. You will have to go to the parts counter and convince them that they have it. Good luck.
