Cooling system

Post by d@nny »

Hi all im having a problem with my radiator switch so i connected it to the ign coil, so now it runs when ever i turn ign. Is there a way that i can connect it to a switch? so that i can turn it on manually when i need it? or is there another way?

Why not just replace the sender switch on the side of the radiator?

Yes replace the switch if it is faulty or get an auto electrician to sort the problem
