[CRXMPG Mailbag] Radiator Fan Switch

Quote:
Hey, SVOboy, I was wondering if among your list of modifications to the CRX was any thermostatic (or otherwise) switching device to control the on/off function of your electric cooling fan. I'm finally getting around to doing something about that fan running 100% of the time that the car is on; it's so unnecessary. Just wondered if you had done anything with that yet. -Brian
Hey Brain -

Thanks for the note. I haven't actually looked into this yet, as I don't have a problem with my radiator fan running all the time. Is your engine running hot? If so it might not be advisable to switch off your radiator fan lest the engine overheat.

Has anyone else here on EM attempted this or something like it? I know I've heard about it now and then, but I don't recall anyone doing it for sure.

Thanks all, hopefully we can get brian some ideas,
