Four Seasons Engine Cooling Fan Switch,Engine Cooling Fan Temperature Switch P/N:37373
Help your engine's electric cooling fan respond to engine temperature with this Four Seasons switch, part number 36511, an engine-mounted cooling fan temperature switch with brass construction for accurate temperature sensing. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1988-1991 BMW M3, 1984-1985 BMW 318i and 1984-1994 BMW 325 Series. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The switch mounts on the engine and senses its temperature. It switches the cooling fan circuit at its set point, which helps the fan come on when the engine needs extra cooling.
Signs this switch may need replacing include a cooling fan that won't switch on, a fan that runs all the time, or engine temperature rising at idle or in slow traffic. Relays, wiring and the fan motor can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before you replace parts. Four Seasons backs its product line with over 50 years of mobile A/C experience.
