my desire was to have the fan come on automatically, even though im using =
an alternator.
as you know Randall i live in the desert here in so cal and our worse days =
can get up to around 110.
if controlled by a manual switch on the dash my concern is that a moment of=
forgetfulness will lead to a very quick disaster.
pulling up that long long the hill from escondido to temecula puts quite th=
e strain on the cooling system. especially when traffic is heavy and not so=
fast. i find that i need the 14" fan full blast and air moving through the=
radiator by normal means, and on occasion i have run the heater inside to =
keep things in line.

Different ways to look at it. One of my goals was to have the fan run as l=
ittle as possible, to try and get by with the stock 19 amp generator. My th=
ought was that I didn't want the fan to run, if airflow through the radiato=
r was already sufficient to keep it cool; even if the water coming out of t=
he engine was "hot".
Dunno if that really makes sense, but I've been pleased with the result. St=
opped at a traffic light or similar, the gauge slowly rises until the needl=
e points to just about the '5' in "185". Then the fan comes on, and it drop=
s back to about the '8' (which is just barely above where it sits going dow=
n the road).
Only other time the fan runs is sometimes when getting off the freeway, it =
will run for a few seconds until I get back up to 30-40 mph.

i have been using an auto fan controller for my TR3.=20
see the link below for the type i have been using.=20
i first used it without a relay and then put in a relay.=20
doesn't seem to matter how i wire them they all seem to last only 2 to 3 ye=

and its year 3 on my tr3.=20
what are you guys using and how reliable have you found them?=20
being a TR3 im not going to pull the radiator to drill and solder a fitting=
into the top. ill continue to replace every 2 years rather than pull that =
darn front clip again.=20
