    Question Where can I get an adjustable electric cooling fan controller.....

     



    that doesn't use a radiator fin probe?

    Looking for something I can adjust with a knob (or pot), but uses an actual sensor, not a probe.

    The Jegs PN's didn't work for me, but the SPAL setup at Speedway looks pretty good (although, a little overkill for my simple needs)

    Looks good

    Kinda hard to tell from the pic, but does it have a knob or a pot?

    Also, happen to have a link to a wiring diagram? (couldn't find it on their site)

    It is a very simple hook up as I recall. You can call their tech guy--he's a street rodder--and he can explain all the details to you. Nice guy, too. I have a sensor in the intake manifold which is where one of the wires attaches. The unit has a rheostat you can turn to choose the temperature for the fan to turn on.

    Flex Lite also makes adjustable temp thermostats for water, and a really nice in-line connector with AN fittings for transmission fluid or oil.

    I used a Dakota Digital with my 2 speed Taurus fan. So fan so good. Completely digital setup, and very easy to install/use.

    After a quick peek inside, I mounted it behind the dash next to the temp gauge








    The light on the left comes on when I flip the main switch for the battery isolator relay.

    When the controller kicks on the fan, that light goes out and the one on the right lights up.
