Cooling Fan Manual Override? Can it be done on an xFire?
Ok, being that SRT-6s have forced induction, and therefore are susceptible to heat soak, is there a way to over ride the cooling fan so that you can turn it on and off manually? I think this would be a great benefit at a track. Think about it. the Intercooler Heat Exchanger is right up front along with the radiator. If you could somehow trick the fan into coming on or staying to keep the circulating coolant cool, it could easily keep the car running more consistently.
I had two Dodge SRT-4s previously, and this modification was usually the first one most people do. On that car all you had to do was tap into one wire and run it to ground with a switch. When the switch was off, the fan was controlled by the ECU as normal. When you switched it on, it completed the ground circuit it turned the fan on. It was very simple, cost about $2 and 10 minutes of time.
I was hoping there was a way to do it on the Crossfire. If you have done this, let me know. If you haven't done it, but are good with electrical schematics help me figure out how to do it.
Thanks. I'm sure this would be an easy and worthwhile freebie mod that a lot of owners could take advantage of.
