I didn't even have to open the grille shutters as of late. My morning commute is about 20 miles of highway driving and the coolant was stable at 96-98 degC with the shutters closed.

I will be adding the necessary wiring to probe the cooling fans relays.

Still researching the best way to tap the coolant sensor for the final integration of the system.
The easiest way may be to get a radiator place to add a threaded hole to your rad for another sensor.
A simple on/off type that switches at the temperature you desire.
I do NB your Arduino skillz though.
