Default Is A8 cooler fan plug and play for M7 cars?

I do have a '16 Z51, and I'm wondering if the M7 cars come with the harness for the fan; does anyone know?

Even if it comes with harness, would ECU enable fan when it gets hot?

A good question would be, does the Z51 auto come with a fan on the tranny cooler? If so, it might be wired btw all cars. Not sure on the ECU functionality for switching the fan on. But if the wiring is there, would there be an issue with the fan running all the time?


Who can answer these questions??????

FYI, I see the fan on parts list, so it must be coming standard with Z51 A8, which is actually why I hoped for, and asked this question in the first place.

Transmission cooling used to be handled much better by C6 Corvettes, when it was part of the radiator : (

Not an expert but I don't think it is a part that could work period. Totally different set-up.
They work totally different.

Not talking about using the auto cooler, just the fan. Mounting the fan on the manual cooler. There are mounting points for a fan, just no fan.


The question is if the wiring loom is there for a fan on a M7 car and if it would get a signal from the ECU to turn on and off or run full time....
