Hello All

I have been thinking about doing an electric fan conversion for a while. My big concern is if the car has the voltage neccessary to run one, and how to sense the temperature to turn it on.

My car is an 88 245. I allready have a pusher fan that turns on with the AC compressor. After the car would not start at a gas station, I found that with the daytime running lights, AC and inside blower on, the cars voltage dropes below 12 volts. I had been running this way for some time and was apparently running down the battery.

Has anyone else had this problem? and if so how did you overcome it?

Allso My new 3 row radiator has a temperatature switch or sensor in the upper right hand corner. Can Use this to start the new fan?

Thanks in advance
Joe
