Default Manual Fan Controller


(CF would not let me post more than 1 pic)
This is a Casper Electronics Inc. Fan controler.
It suppose to allow for manual control of the rad. fan in Hi or Low speeds when the car is off.
I dont know if installing it will remove the car's automatic on off control or not. Theres no mention of that in the installation sheet.
My car has a heatX front of the ac condenser.
Running the fan without running the engine will cool the heatX and its coolant. I can also run the heatx coolant pump in acc. mode. I hope all this will cool heat exchanger and heatx coolant quicker without running the engine.

Anyone ever used or installed one of these for the fan?
Thanks for looking.

I have the same one from WCC. It operates as an override HI/LOW. When the switch in in the middle position, it operates as NORM; lets the ECM operate the fan(s). Great for cooling whenever the engine is not running. Works great along with the E-water pump.

I have one but it seemed to not turn on when exposed to heat for extended periods. Here in Miami, its over 110 in the car at all times! I had it placed inside the cabin, made no difference. I tested once by taking the car for a drive, found the fans not turning on, then removed the resistor portion and put it in my fridge for 10 mins, plugged it in....voila! Needless to say, I removed mine. Does anyone have this problem?

There is a 3 position switch that is to mounted inside the cabin. In the "0" position the fan(s) and PWM system will be controlled by the ECM and act normally. In the "I" position the fan(s) will be on "Low". In the "II" position the fan(s) will be on "High".

Let me know if you do not have the Installation Instructions and I will send them to you.

Default Time delay cut off

I purchased a 2013 Corvette with one of these installed, and, it will run until the battery dies, which I learned at the dealership the day I purchased it because they let the battery die.

Anyway, since purchasing the car I have been curious if there is a company that makes a time delay module that will cut off after 5 or 10 minutes, so the battery does not die.

Anyone know of such a module?

Thanks, Bob
