Keep your electric cooling fan cycling on coolant temperature with the Beck/Arnley Engine Cooling Fan Switch (201-0809) — the thermo fan switch many owners search for as a Jetta switch when their fan stops kicking in. It installs as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of imports, including the 1980-1983 Volkswagen Jetta, 1974-1981 Volkswagen Dasher, 1979-1993 Saab 900, 1977-1982 Porsche 924, 1970-1979 Peugeot 504 and 1968-1977 Fiat 124; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 29 applications.
This temperature-sensitive switch opens and closes the cooling fan circuit as coolant temperature rises and falls, signaling the fan (or fan relay) to run when the engine gets hot.
- OE form, fit and function: designed as a direct replacement matching the original's mounting and operation.
- Application specific: check the catalog data and confirm fit for your vehicle before ordering.
- Repair support: professional diagnostics are recommended for a successful repair.
- Diagnose first: check cooling fan motor current draw, control module/relay function, and the electrical wiring and connectors.
Signs this switch may need replacing include a fan that never turns on, one that runs constantly, or engine overheating — provided the switch, and not the fan motor, relay, or wiring, is the cause.
