No worries mate,
I took it as read and wasn't referring to you as a 'propogator' LOL
Even Snap0964 wasn't sure until I tried it and Ray knows his 'stuff'. It must have been the only thing he hasn't tried to modify but given time he'd have got around to it! LOL
Cheers,
Paul |

|
|
HI, there.......I wish to fit a switch in the cabin to enable me to switch on the high speed thermo fan on my EL manually. I feel that I need to do this as the car gets very hot on uphill climbs and it seems that the high speed fan comes on at too high a temp. I have a new radiator, on the 56th thermostat, the head has been done and a new water pump fitted and still the same problem persists. I have searched just about everywhere re wiring a switch and there are plenty of people who say they have done it, but I can't seem to find how they exactly did it! I have seen wiring diagrams, etc, however what I really need is someone to actually explain it more or less wire by wire, connection by connection if this is possible.... Is there anyone who could help me in this before I have to take it to a Auto Electrician??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks |

It seems that the 2nd speed comes in at too high a temp. To fix, gather one Auto-Electrician, add $130, add switch to enable fan speed to be controlled manually and switch on before the climb. Simple, really!!!

hmmmm, you could have done what I did..
get a 60 dollar davies craig thermo switch and bypass the factory stuff altogether.. now when the guage gets to about 3mm into operating temp, the fans come on full.. temp never goes up or down from there... perfect. |
