HI - HOW/WHERE DO YOU SWITCH TO LOWER TEMP ACTION FOR THE FAN PLEASE.....? / THANKS

Car temp rises at idle. Anyone else experience this problem?


Yes. I switched to lower temp' fan switch. It helped. It seemed to get much to hot before turning low speed on before that. I'm sure I need radiator maintainence. (orig. 85). I think I will try the "Limeaway" treatment since I don't think these can be boiled out.



BMP sells a lower temp. switch. There are two thermal switches on side of radiator. Remove high temp. sw. put existing low temp sw there. put new low temp (fan low speed) sw in old low temp spot.
You will have to file down one of the connector lugs.
