Hi,

The Fans come on depending on Temp and AC settings. Look at the resource Tab above, there is some info. It seems common for these not to run the Fans / on high. A reset of the ECU may fix it. A few people have done some Mods to change how they operate, but make sure they work as intended first.

They will kick on for a second or less when you go to reds on startup but it is like a self test. Once this happens they shut off till up to temp.

Yes, ECU gets the temp signal form the temp sender then activates the thermos as required.

You could use a davis Craig swith to activate the thermos. Benj still overates that system on his wagon.

or you can buy a trident "tfs200" thermal switch and fit it in the thermostat housing to activate fans independently, this was how I had mine on my ed...

Hi,

Also keep in mind they will need to run when the AC is on and you are stopped in traffic.
