Subject: Re: Relocating the A/C Evaporator Can by CentralCoaster on 2015/3/9 20:31:16 I wired up a manual fan override switch on mine. It is a 2 pole switch that grounds out both fan relays. When the switch is off, they operate normally. A 2 pole switch is necessary to keep the electrical circuits separate. I mostly use it after a run session, when the car is insanely hot, leave it idling and force both fans on to cool it down faster. The last thing you want to do in that situation is shut the car off right away, because the coolant still in the engine may sit there and absorb more heat until it boils. The fan will stay on but would only cool what's in the radiator. Why would you need a separate relay? It would surprise me if there was feedback to the ECM to tell it the fan is running when it shouldn't be. I honestly don't know how the fans are controlled on yours though. As for your radiator, it's probably cooling better, but your thermostat is just closing more to compensate. You're operating at the bottom end of the operating range, and the only way it's going to be less than that, is with a lower temp stat. I'm assuming you have the 180 now. The stat and the sensor are pretty far part in the chain of events that is your cooling system. |
