This is for a 95 Integra GSR.

The second two listings have the terminal configuration and the ON setpoint. What specific data are you looking for?

 

[Sinasta]

Im guessing OEM temp is good for me.

Painless Wiring makes a really nice one. It's adjustable. Use it with a relay kit.

 

[Sinasta]

Arent all three plug and play?

Help?

Is it a stock replacement or are you putting an aftermarket setup on it? If stock "Replacing the original" I would pay the dealer for the oem part . As I would gamble it would be the best quality ,not always though. Too much made in china stuff at NAPA.

 

[Sinasta]

Its oem setup.

 

[Gary Allan]

I'm somewhat

on what you're looking for. I'm sure that the replacement part is to OEM spec's. Now the quality may vary with the manufacturer in how many in a given batch are good ..or how long they maintain OEM spec's ..but these are the parts that I would put in my car if they failed. I would consider NAPA a quality parts supplier ...they sure charge enough for them.

If you want anything better, you're going non-OEM spec controllers. There are a few that will take the output of your temp gauge and you just "dial them in". Some are variable fan speed controllers and others are not. They cost a relative fortune compared to just replacing the simple thermal switch.

What do you seek

The only difference that I can see here is whether you're willing to get assaulted at the dealer ...or save a few bucks at NAPA or where ever

 

[Sinasta]

The links I provided are from NAPA and it shows all 3 rad fan switches for my car. I just want one that are oem spec and I dont know which one to get from the above links because they dont provide any detail.

Thanks for the help. Do you know if the 199F is when the fan kicks in or is that the temp that it will lower the temp to.

Thanks again.

Odd they'd have so many selection of rad fan switches.

I'd use what is recommended. If you switch the fan on too soon you may experience more fuel consumption and hit open loop sooner.

Just call a counter person and tell them what you want. No thinking involved.

 

[Gary Allan]

It will lower the temp to the thermostat setting. It may target 195F ..or lower, depending on where they located the switch in relation to the coolant migration. It's probably right near the thermostat outlet.

If you visit NAPA, they may have the older master switch catalogs. They list (or used to, IIRC) the ON:OFF spec's for these switches.

 

[Sinasta]

Yes, that switch is located right in the thermostat housing outlet. Right now the thermostat I have in is 180F...OEM stat is 170F, so I'll probably change back to OEM stat when I change out the switch.
