...I forget which switch I used for the alarm but I believe it was the 234*...
Btw on my car the fans would only come on 10-15 minutes after shutdown and even then only on hot days. High AC pressure aside its been my experience the fans should not operate while the engine is running. If they do it's a warning of problems in the cooling system.
I was planning to use the same one, as I would expect the transient temps could surpass 100c during the summer, perhaps after highway driving, for example.
I used to have Flex-a-lite's hooked through relays to an aftermarket temp switch with a ~105c switch point(which I still have at the bvsv location, but intend to remove), and it would cause both fans to come on for 10 minutes after shutdown because the engine's heat would continue to soak into the coolant. I found that if I wanted to be able to start my car later rather than get a jump start(those Flex-a-lite's draw alot of power), I would have to shut down, let the fans kick on for about 30 seconds to cool the contents of the rad, then start it and idle for 10 seconds to move it all into the block. Very tiresome.
I looked at my Tstat cover and the switches therein, and the lower one is clearly marked "100", but the one above is marked "73". Would you know if this is in fact the 112c switch?
Edit- I found online that part# TS73 is a temp switch "for gauge", so this is confusing me a bit more.
