Default Spal dual fan wireing question.

Can i use the stock sensor between the #1 &#3 cyl. to pull in
the relay for one of the fan,s. I was just going to tie into that
single green wire. The gray wire from the relay go,s to it and
grounds out it complete the circut. Will that screw up the temp.
gage reading. Thanks,

Isn't that a sending unit to the gauge? I don't think it is the same thing as the thermostat type to turn your fans on/off.

You should mount the unit that comes w/ the fans in the manifold or water pump.

Will NOT work. Sorry.

The relays need an on off switch. The factory temp sensor provides a gradual resistance for the gauge.

If you got a controller from Dewitt they say it use the stock sending for the gauge, and you can controll the on off points, and request for a/c . So where did you get the fan?
