Standard Ignition Engine Cooling Fan Switch P/N:TS-262
Help your electric cooling fan come on when it should with the Standard Ignition TS-139 Engine Cooling Fan Switch. This thermal coolant fan switch senses engine coolant temperature and sends an electrical signal to the fan controller. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1982-1993 Volkswagen Jetta, 1990-1994 Volkswagen Passat and 1985-1994 Volkswagen Golf, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A failed fan switch can leave the cooling fan off as the engine warms up, or leave it running when it shouldn't. If the original switch is the cause, the TS-139 replaces it. Check the fan motor, relay and wiring first, because these symptoms can have other causes.
