The radiator fan didn't turn on automatically, so my dad wired it directly into the AC controller.
All that trouble, rather than run to NAPA to spend $12 on the thermo-switch that would be easier to install than hacking into the A/C controller. Yeah, I've known some dads like that.
- derefr 3y ago"Run to NAPA" in what car? Presuming the nearest auto parts store is more than 10mins down the road (probably much more), you won't make it there without first doing something hacky. And then the stupid solution is already working, so...

- Fatnino 3y agoI have a 2000 civic. The thermoswich went bad and I replaced it (bit of a bother, tried to do it fast while coolant was pouring out the opening). Couple years later it went bad again (I probably put in a crappy one from a generic country) so instead of going through that again I just stuck a bent paper clip into the socket of the wire that plugs into the thermoswich. Now it always has the fan on when the car is on. Could have gotten the same effect by tampering with the relay (this short that I added actually just activates the relay for the fan) but I went with the easiest option.
