Building Electric Fan Controller - What Temperature Switch?
Hey guys,
I bought a Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan and am going to install it when I get a chance...In the meantime I want to build my own fan controller. I've got the circuit all figured out except for what to use as the temp switch. Is there an aftermarket adjustable module that is fairly cheap? Is there a ford part that will work? I would prefer an adjustable sensor, but if I have to get a fixed point switch...what temperature should I be looking at? I think I have the stock thermostat...is it a 180 or a 170? Thanks for the help.
