Standard Ignition Engine Cooling Fan Switch P/N:TS-258
Help your electric cooling fan come on when the engine needs it with the Standard Ignition Engine Cooling Fan Switch, part number TS-451. This coolant fan switch responds to coolant temperature and makes electrical contact at its specified set point to signal the fan circuit. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1984 Nissan Maxima, 1984-1986 Mercedes-Benz 190D and 1978-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300CD, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
This part may need replacing if the electric cooling fan never switches on, if the fan runs all the time, or if engine temperature climbs in slow traffic. If a failed fan switch is the cause, the TS-451 replaces it. Other cooling-system parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts. This part is listed under two names, engine cooling fan switch and coolant fan switch.

What does the TS-451 engine cooling fan switch do?
It responds to coolant temperature and makes electrical contact at its specified set point. That contact sends a signal to the fan circuit so the electric cooling fan can switch on.
Is the TS-451 the right Maxima switch for a 1984 Nissan Maxima?
Yes. The TS-451 is listed as a direct-fit cooling fan switch for the 1984 Nissan Maxima. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows the full application details.
Does it fit the 1984-1986 Mercedes-Benz 190D and 1978-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300CD?
Yes. It is listed for the 1984-1986 Mercedes-Benz 190D and the 1978-1985 Mercedes-Benz 300CD. Many other models are shown in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
How is the switch calibrated?
Standard Ignition calibrates and tests every unit to confirm the switch actuates at its specified temperature. Each thermal switch is factory-calibrated to make contact at its lower-temperature set point.
What are signs a cooling fan switch may be failing?
Common signs are an electric fan that never comes on, a fan that runs constantly, or engine temperature rising in slow traffic. Diagnose the cooling system first, since other parts can cause the same symptoms.
