Need some wiring info By yoster (Read 833 times)

Hey guys - I'm looking to wire a switch to manually control my radiator fan. I know with absolute confidence that it comes on too early (it kicks on at about 130 degrees.)

What I plan to do is wire-in a toggle switch - 2 positions - "off" and "auto (on)" For short trips to the store, 1/4 mile away where it never even gets up to normal temperature (but the fan still insists on coming on,) I'll keep it in the "off" position. For longer road trips, auto.

Anyway, do any of those fuses ONLY control the rad fan? I seem to remember taking every one of them out at one point and the fan would still come on. I don't want to pull off any plastics if I can avoid it - would love to access it somehow via the fuse box and mount the switch right on the little left side access panel there.

Thanks guys!

If it's wired like the rest then yes. What I would do is let it sit and idle until the fan comes on and then pull one fuse at a time and see for sure. I would think there is one and Cruiser and I put it on the diagram because I'm certain he said his scooter had one on the fan.

But this also doesn't make sense? If it is coming on at only 130F then the thermoswitch is either wrong or bad. I would replace that before I went to the trouble of a switch?
