Electric Fan Temp Sensor Location

I just installed a set of electric fans and put the temp switch in the driver side head as someone here sent me a very good data sheet that said the temp in the heads is a little higher due to cylinder location and the gauge temp sender in the manifold fans are working in the temp range they were set for on at 180 deg.

Electric fan temp sensor location.

On tpi engines the primary fan is controlled by the ecm and a c head pressure. When the coolant and engine temp reaches 180 the fans come on. Like mentioned above your temp reading is higher at the head than the intake. Bmw 2006 330i e90 temperature and fan switch and coolants location.

The second cooling fan control switch mounts just above the lower radiator hose 8 inches from the bottom of the radiator. My temperatures remain steady at 180 to 185 on the temperature sender. Off at 165 170 deg. I would leave the fan sensor in the intake or neck.

Order the waterneck that i have listed in my picture and put your fan sensor there. The ecm grounds the coolant fan circuit when the coolant temperature sensor indicates the temperature is greater than 222 or when the a c head pressure is greater than 232 psi and the vehicle speed is less than 35 or 40 mph depending on application. If you can t put your temp sensor in your head leave it in the intake. The temperature probe should be plugged into the system where the coolant is hottest generally the thermostat housing in the coolant passages adjacent to it or in the water jacket of the.
