Over the weekend I went to the car graveyard and picked up some new toys. That is, some relays, a seat belt, and a cooling fan.

Now the switches on the shifter are as follow:
unused
Injector kill
unused
Radiator fan
Alternator activate

I have a hierarchy set up with the relays so that the alternator can turn on independently. If I turn on the fan, the alternator comes on. If I activate the A/C pump (clutch), the fan comes on, and thus, the alternator.

Do you guys have any ideas for a thermostat for the fan? I would prefer something that does not require me to piece together an electronic circuit. Maybe a water heater thermostat?
