Default aux cooling fan

I have an additional cooling fan on my radiator. It can be swiched on with an additional swicht in the mid console. I want to automate this fan with a sensor on the radiator.

Who knows a kit with a thermostat and a adjustable "switch on" used for this purpose. Please send me the link.

This is one of the best there is is. I ordered the 35 amp controller and will be installing it this fall when the new motor and trans go in.

Go to fan controllers.

That fan is just a helper fan for driving in heavy traffic moving slow. It doesn't move a lot of air. Thats a pretty expensive controller, I have one but its going to be running a dual 12" electric fan setup.

Same thoughts here; remember I'm Dutch and we don't like spending money ;-). HAHA.

Seriously, If it was my primary, it would be no problem, but it is just as sixfooter writes. Looking for something cheap to automate the switch.

What year? 79 and 80 L-82 cars, and all 81-82 models have factory electric auxilary fans. An additional temp switch is installed in the RH head and powers the auxilary fan when temps rise to the specificed level. Get the 80-82 AIM and take a look at the installation.
