Thermostat Switch - Thread-in Probe


willie002

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I've been working on the AC in my 2002 and have come across a bit of a snag. I'm looking for a thermostat for my AC electric fan, I trying to track down a source for 180 degree thread-in probe switch's or I've seen it also called a terminal type switch. It threads into the water divider along with the temperature sending unit.  They look pretty much like the temperature sending units but they are switches that open up at 180 degrees to operate the electric fan for the AC. I can find all kinds of them that are 3/8" but nothing metric. Any good suggestions or work arounds. Thanks for any information.

 

Cheers............

I'm not sure what you are threading into :) But E24, 28 etc BMW's had such switches threaded into the radiator. You might find an E21 water neck.

For my a/c I just wired the condenser fan to energize with the compressor. And then I wired in a small manual pull switch in case I wanted to cut power to the fan at cruising. Haven't mounted that yet, though...

Stop reading this! Don't you have anything better to do?? :P
Two running things. Two broken things.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
