Default Checkout our new Fan Control Switch....

Just launched....

Take complete control of your C6, Z06, or ZR1 coolant fan with our new Corvette C6 Fan Control Switch



This brand new Plug-And-Play control module installs under the hood, at the fan connector, and is designed to manually control the PWM coolant fan found on the 2005-2009 C6, Z06 and ZR1 Corvette. When the need arises to manually cool the radiator down, this module gives you complete control (high, low, and normal) of the fan with the simple flick of a switch. This kit can be installed in less then one hour, once you decide on where you want to place the control switch. This switch matches the style and look of cockpit switches used on all the C6 Corvettes.

Comes with easy to follow installation instructions.

Ordering info below.

Has anybody installed one of these units yet? If so, how much cooler does it keep the coolant temperature.

Simple plug and play apparently, my only question is.... how easy is it to fish the wire somewhere through the firewall?

Is there already an opening, or do I have to drill a hole for it?

Where are you guys mounting the switch? I'm guessing somewhere down low and left out of the way?

No holes needed....you route the wires through the upper door jam on the passenger or drivers side. You can mount the switch wherever you like. I have not installed it on my car yet, but am planning it for this weekend.

Thanks,

Jim

Many people have installed it without any problems, and since it's a very quality piece we offer a one-year warranty on it.

Thanks,
Dave

I installed it a couple of weeks ago. Works great. When I turn it on high speed it will bring down the temp about 20 degrees. I ran the wires under the oil tank and through the door jam as they suggested. I mounted the switch in the cigarette lighter hole in the console. The console comes out very easily. I indented the tabs on the side of the lighter recepticle and took the whole thing out. I then put a couple of rounds of electrical tape around the switch, just below the outside edge, so it would have a tighter fit when I pushed the switch into the cigarette lighter hole. Now the switch is invisible and I just flip open the ashtray door when I want to use it.

Were you able to install the controller from the top or did you have to get to it from underneath?
