Need a GOOD aftermarket temp/fan switch

[Wobble]

for whatever reason. my fans do not come on properly.. ive tried everything i can and to no avail.. currently I have the fans wired to relays so they are always on when the car is on..

I need a GOOD temp probe and switch setup.. i tried one of those crappy ones from autozone where you slide a probe in yer radiator fins. but that thing is no good.. i need one i can tap into the thermostat..

any ideas?

idealy it will be a probe and relay setup.. adjustable.. whatever.

You shouldn't have to jigga rig anything on, a "98" spyder? You don't have to lie to impress people on here, we all know you have a 97. Your car is more jerry rigged than my 90' TSi, and is more of a maintenace hog than both of my cars combined. You coulda had a supra that doesnt over heat by now with all the money you've sunk into your 14 second beast.

just a thought....

Jegs or Summit have adjustable fan switches like what you describe.

If you look at the t-stat housing. There is a vac thermo sensor, remove It loop the vac lines is you still have them and thread the sensor into the t-stat housing.

Threaded sensor and if you have fans that draw over 20a (total) get the relay. You will burn the control module out, trust me i did
