Default cooling fan mods....

I did a search and found nothing on this..... Is there anyway to make the stock fans run after the car is switched off? I'd like to be able to get out of mine and walk away and it continue to run for 2-3 minutes just to continue to evacuate heat out of the engine bay, etc. On my RX7 it was just a matter of hooking up an additional ground wire.....


Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks,
Shannon

Contact Brian at DC Controls.www.dccontrol.com
Otherwise it would involve adding a temp switch that opens/closes at the temps you want & wiring it to a relay to power the fans

We can program the fans to run for a set period after you shut down.

My 1986 VW Jetta used to do that... it would shut off when the radiator temp lowered to a certain temp.
