Electric fan controller - where to get one?

[Schweineback]

I scored an electric fan which I want to use to replace the stock fan, and place it in front of the radiator. I want it to switch on only at higher temperatures of the coolant fluid and have it idle the rest of the time. That means it needs some (programmable) intelligent device - aka the controller - to steer it. Any one knows of such a device and where to buy it?

I bought mine at Pep Boys. I wanted the adjustable Hayden unit like you want but it was $70 so I went with the cheaper $30 not adjustable unit. Mine was super easy to install. No drilling or tapping for a coolant temp sensor. It has a brass rod that you insert in between the radiator fins as a temp sensor. It turns on the fan at 185 degrees ( I think) and shuts off at around 170. Working good so far. It also has a lifetime warranty. Check any autopart store or Summit. Hope this helps.

This is the one I bought....

Get the 82degree temp switch for the Aux fan on an E30. Fit that to the bottom of your radiator (get a rad shop to weld in a bung). Then check out the wiring diagram on the FAQ pages - it very easy to follow. Beaner7102

Beaker,

Get this instead. I have it and it's fantastic. It will allow you to run your fan at variable speeds depending on the temp settings you determine.
