Re: Engine Temps
Yes, but may I ask what you are seeking to achieve?
The resistor will cause the computer to send a digital pulse train to the fan motor controller-mounted on the driver fender just behind the headlight. That is a power transistor switcher that modulates the fan voltage.
When the car heats up the computer will begin providing (via the module) an average DC voltage to the motor of about 4 volts and as needed increase it to 9 or more volts. 12 volts which is closer to 13.5 makes it run too fast and a bit scray sounding so be careful with the just putting power to the fan idea, the power module is cubic expensive for the repair of a "lets see sort of experiment".
Opening the grill will assist in making the car cool better and I am almost ready to start a list of the cooling changes that I have made, in order of complexity.
The resistor will speed up the fan and if you switch it in when you park the car for a while it makes the engine hard to start because it knows the transmission is cold and the water is hot??????????? could this be a simple way to theft proof the car from someone that had you key???
Let me know where you wanna go and Ill see if I can assist, Woody
I did not see the thermostat at LET site, what is its ratings?
