I found the temperature control (recently installed by my shop) for my radiator fan. The fan comes on at 170 degrees now, and I want to adjust it to turn on at 175, as it runs a fair amount after the car warms up (even in the winter) and the fan is pretty noisy. Do I turn the adjustment clockwise or counter-clockwise? I could experiment, but I would rather ask the knowledgeable guys here. I would guess clockwise, and that is really a guess. Thanks.

I bought it from Summers Car Co. in Eugene, Oregon. They sell most of their cars on eBay and that is where I saw this. The visit to OR was fun, but the cross-country shipping wasn't cheap as you know. Where do you find your C2Cs? Mike Collins told me about your web site/business and I was looking there too. best, Ken Ken_tech [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Fairfax, Virginia   Posted by amy14760yahoocom  -  02/11/2008 06:12 PM hey ken the best way to set fan on when up to temp is with eng cold start car up when temp reachs the temp you want fan to turn on turn knob from full clockwise to counter clockwise till fan comes on at the temp desired . then maybe a little to where it shuts off and you will be in that neiborhood .i install mine and others for folks that way seems to be the easiest . good luck bob in ny amy14760yahoocom [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] allegany, New York Charter Member since July 2005
