        Priced the very same product on [...], [...] and a half dozen others. Advance beat the price by a pleasant margin. Unit is simple, complete with everything you need to swap in an electric fan or customize you're fan temp on/off settings Unit is complete with adjustable sensor, probe, and relay and understandable instructions. You just can't ask for much more.

          • Q:

            Is the controller waterproof or water resistant? If not, I suppose the controller should be mounted within the passenger compartment of a vehicle, am I correct in my supposition?

            Could this method be used on a 2011+ car or truck to bypass the fan settings in the PCM?

            • CUSTOMER CARE

              A:

              Thermostatic fan control: A system thermistor checks the temperature inside the chassis, and if it detects a temperature outside of range, it spins the fans up to maximum. When the temperature drops below a threshold again, the fans are turned back off. This control method reduces power requirements during periods of low usage, but when the system is operating at capacity, the fan noise can become a problem again.

              A:

              No, I am sorry. The Imperial Adjustable Thermostatic Fan Control (Part No. 226203) does not have an unique power saver function. However it is an economy model with the On/Off Degree between 32 degrees - 248 degrees.

              Yes, this should work fine for your application.

              Answered on 9/18/2011 by Vincent from AAP
            • A:

              This is designed to supply a 12v power supply once the circuit is made via the thermostat which is positioned at the radiator. What you do with the 12v supply is up to you. You can run multiple fans, lights or what ever as long as you don't over load the circuit. Two 12v 12" fans should be fine as they generally don't pull more than 5 to 7 amps each max.

            My Radiator fan works with the A/C but not without the A/C on. What would cause this? So far I have replaced the water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, ALL the hoses and the relay. Will this product work on my vehicle and could it be the problem?
