Standard Ignition Engine Cooling Fan Switch P/N:TS-280
Keep your cooling fan cycling on at the right temperature with the Standard Ignition switch TS-127, a coolant fan switch that senses engine coolant temperature and signals the fan controller when the set point is reached. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-1989 Nissan Maxima, 1986-1989 Nissan Stanza, and 1985-1986 Porsche 928 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine specifics.
If a failed fan switch is the cause of an overheating engine or a fan that won't cycle, this replaces it; diagnose the cooling system first. A common fit for the Maxima switch and Porsche 928 switch applications listed above.

What does the TS-127 coolant fan switch do?
It senses engine coolant temperature and, when its calibrated set point is reached, closes a snap-action electrical contact to signal the fan controller to run the cooling fan.
Does it fit my Nissan Maxima?
Yes, it's a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-1989 Nissan Maxima, plus the 1986-1989 Nissan Stanza and 1985-1986 Porsche 928. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
How is the switch actuated?
A custom wax formulation expands when heated to drive a snap-action contact, and a formed bimetallic arm uses two fused metals with different expansion rates as a creep-action device for precise performance.
What are signs this switch may need replacing?
A cooling fan that won't turn on, runs constantly, or an engine that overheats can point to a failed fan switch. Diagnose the cooling system first, since these symptoms have other causes.
Is the switch calibrated?
Yes. Every unit is factory-calibrated and tested to confirm actuation at its specified lower-temperature set point.
