i read that the fan is sposed to kick on when the oil temp reaches 302 degrees is this right? i think ill check my fan control unit

fishdaddy · 01-21-2012, 12:05 AM

what about a connecting a toggle switch on it to kick it on when i want to?

rich450es · 01-21-2012, 12:11 AM

yup you can do that also
if you take the wire from the oil temp sensor (wire on the bottom of motor ) and ground it to the frame (with the key on ) the fan and light on dash should come on

Check your fan for any obstructions too...... The smallest stick will prevent it from spinning.... Those things have absolutely "0" tourque.
