    Hi.

    Anybody knows the operating temp of the switch in the water-radiator?
    I meen the temp the switch is making contact and the temp the switch breaks
    contact.
    The car is a -88 780 V6.

    Thanks

    For a USA spec car, 212 degree F, the switch will close.
    The switch turns on the small front electric fan in front of the condensor.
    On 4 cyl B230FT is will also bump up the timing to increase idle speed only
    while the switch is closed. Not sure if the timing changes on the B280F or
    not.
