Haven't done that, but if you constantly run the fan when the radiator is
cold, it will take much longer for the truck to warm up.

Subject: DML: electric fan troubles: why use a thermostat?

I posted not long ago about having a problem with my Perma-Cool 170
degree thermostat failing to activate my electric fan. I called the
company, and they hadn't heard about a bad batch of thermostats ( this
is the second one for me). So I still don't have an automatic mechanism
for starting my fan.

So I was thinking, why do I need this A/C switch relay and thermostat
anyway? why not hook up to a circuit that is only on when the ignition
is on?

Has anyone done this?

pedro.
