I have a friend who wrote the logic of the unit on Arduino and connected it in parallel to few vehicles,he can now define the temperature in which the fans start to blow, and the cost is neglectable, he even published the code for free. ________________________________________ French military victories?Did you mean French military defeats? |

Why did you need to take the front end off? Its just arch liners off on that side and you can get to it from underneath?Brownshoe, i lowered my cut in speed before i went aftermarket with a variable pot inline of the feed to the coolant sensor. Could lower it to kick in anywhere from standard to about 65 degrees. Any less and it decided there was a fault and went full speed. And its simple to change. Just turn a knob! |

I'm talking about implementing any logic that you like, just by writing code.if the bitron unit control also the aircon unit by switching the fans when it's on then you can't achieve that with pot. ________________________________________ French military victories?Did you mean French military defeats? |

No you can't and in which case, your friends method is probably the best value for money and ease but if all you want to do is alter the temp that the fans kick in at, a pot is ideal. 5 Minutes of soldering and job jobbed. |
