Thread: Cooling fan swtich

I have had some problems with my 3100 heating up a little at ideal. I just had the intake and head gasket replaced. Right now the right fan will kick in when it gets between 210 and the next mark on the gauge. The fan will shut off when it gets below 210. But then in 5-7 min it gets hot enough for the fan to kick in again and does the same thing.
I want to run a switch inside the car to turn on the fan manually. How do you do this and how hard is it?
Also I have a 195 t stat I am thinking that I am going down to a 180 to help this too.
Remember its only high 40's-50's here right now and its getting hot I can't think of how it would be when its 80's-90's.

Thanks for your help.

thermostat will help. i dont know if id always want to flip my high speed fan switch on and off all the time just to make the car run cool.

I am fine with switching it on and off.

Moved this over to the tech lounge.

I found a write up of it on v6 z24 forum

I am going to the track in a week so. THe system is all good.

Mine is not broke. The fan turns on and all but I would like to have it one earlier then what it is and when I am sitting at ideal
