Revainrating 4 out of 5

Working, poor for engine cooling and air conditioning

4 stars due to the fragility of the product. The first one I bought had the switch contacts falling off the mounting screw. The second is correct, and during the test the fans turned on as expected.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Empty

Works good but a bit poor

I used this to install an electric fan on a Volvo 240. This switch worked well but felt a bit flimsy like it might damage the mounting stud or terminals. In any case, be careful when working with this switch. After installation it worked reliably.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

nice switch, make sure you install it separately

I like the switch for the most part I wish the fans would rotate to 165 degrees instead of 185 degrees but it works and I shouldn't be complaining for that alone. My only concern is that you must be very careful with the switch during installation. Make sure to take it apart and install the base with tools (wrenches or sockets) first. Do not use any tools on the sensor itself. Tighten it by hand as the copper pin is very brittle. If you tighten it as an assembly it will definitely break…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Minor issues
