Not Ranked
Scott,
I have tried various ways of connecting the fan light on my Arntz. I believe that the way you have it is the best. Those electric fans and thermal switches are not all that reliable. Sometimes a fuse blows or a relay sticks and the temperature will keep climbing until, BOOM! It's much better to KNOW that the fan is on if the temperature is high. I located my light at the far right of my dash and it's green. When I'm creeping in traffic, I keep an eye on the water temp. If it gets over 200, that fan better be on. There have been times, though, that it's not. Then you have to hit the manual switch. That little light saved me some expensive repairs.
I think next time I open the dash, I'll install a two color LED. It will glow green if the thermal switch turns the fan on and yellow if it's turned on by the switch. That will help me remember to turn it off after the traffic picks up.
