      Electric fan control?

      Im not trying to start an arguement over which one is best
      Ive searched and read every post about the controllers used
      I want to know if there are any updates as far as the controllers go or is the majority to just wire up some relays and a switch?
      Need it to be dependable for every day use
      Im using a taurus fan
      Thanks

      I have used the Dakota Digital Controller combined with TYCO 70 A relays for 2 years now with a Mark VIII fan without any troubles...

      I had good service from a Derale controller....easily adjustable for on/off temp - although the actual range between on and off stays the same, you can easily vary the "on" temp.
      Also, they have an A/C "on" override connection which is great to wire up to switch under the dash if you want to turn the fans on at any time.

      For non-adjustable the temp switch that provides a relay ground seems like a winner. They've been used in stock applications for years. I think the relay or fan may be more prone to failure.
      I'm running 2 fans. One controlled by the ecu (similar to temp switch). And the second fan activated by the AC trinary switch and/or an adjustable thermostat I got from theses guys. Price is great and probe goes in the radiator drain.

      I've got my store up and running. I am adding a ton of relay related parts over the next week. I'm trying to get advertising rates so I can get a spot on here but there seems to be a problem with the link for it. Check some of it out here:
