Default Temperature

Hi .

I have a corvette year 1989 .Automatic_Transmission.
The weather in the country where i live is hot.

There is a Unit or a Sensor mounted on the engine somewhere that lets the Cooling Fan work when the Temperature goes up to 107degrees in my Corvette.
I don`t know exactly where this Unit is..

The question is :
Is there a solution to replace this unit or sensor by new one or something else that makes the Fan work when the Temperature is less than 107 degrees??

Thank you
Fathi

there are two sensors... the one you want is on the front of the intake, below and behind the throttle body.

the gauge sensor is on the head... and I don't remember which side!

It's either between #6 and #8 plugs or #1 and #3... It moves around, and I simply have lost track.

I don't quite understand the question-if you're talking about the engine cooling fan-it doesn't come on until the engine temps up around 225.

I am thinking celcius... that would fit, actually.
