Keep your cooling fan responding to engine temperature with the Four Seasons switch 36512, a radiator-mounted cooling fan temperature switch. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1984-1997 Volkswagen Jetta, 1992-1994 Volkswagen Passat and 1988-1994 Volkswagen Golf, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
The switch mounts in the radiator and senses coolant temperature. It switches the cooling fan circuit so the fan can come on when the engine needs extra airflow through the radiator. Four Seasons engineers and tests its products and backs them with more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience.
- Vehicle-specific design: built for the listed applications.
- Brass construction: used for accurate temperature sensing.
- Zinc-coated terminal: helps resist corrosion at the electrical connection.
- Sealing parts included: contains the gaskets, O-rings or seals needed to properly replace the switch.
Signs this switch may need replacing include a cooling fan that never switches on, a fan that runs all the time, rising engine temperature in traffic, or coolant seepage at the switch. Diagnose the cooling system first. If the switch is the cause, this part replaces it.
