Review on πŸ”„ Enhanced Beck Arnley Thermo Fan Switch - Model 201-1650 by Robert Jackson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

O-ring is too large, deforms and leaks. Worked a week, shorted. Do not buy.

I bought this for my 2005 Acura TSX. This switch turns on the fans when the coolant temperature reaches around 195F and still works fine. The only issue I had was with the o-ring (seal) that comes with this switch. The OEM service manual says to torque the derailleur to 17 ft.lbs, which is what I did. But the O-ring is too big and starts to deform laterally. After a day of hard driving, the switch started leaking. I replaced the o-ring with a thinner, stronger ring. Reuse the original O-ring if it is still in good condition. Update 10/24/19 The switch has been working for a week and now it shorted out causing the radiator fans to run at full blast every time the car was started, even on a cold morning. . I am so disappointed because I have to re-drain the coolant and bleed the cooling system to replace this switch.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Speed
