RE: [DML] first problem - help please! (follow-up)

["Doc" <doctor280@xxxx>]

Cooling fans running all the time......I have had this problem when I first
purchased my Delorean and this is what I did to correct the problem.

In my case the otter switch was bad, it was stuck, closing the circuit which
in turn caused the fans to run all the time. I purchased a few new switches
from DMC Houston, but after a few days these switches would also fail,
resulting in the fans running all the time.(I contacted Houston about the
problem and they may have solved the problem with their switches) PJ Gradys
sells the Volvo otter switch which does work, but it does have a draw back.
It seems that the Volvo switch is not set for the same temp setting as the
Delorean. The fans will run longer getting the engine coolant at a temp that
will throw the switch to the off position.

I was able to locate a OEM Delorean otter switch last year and installed
same and have yet to have the problem reoccur. The OEM Delorean otter switch
may be a hard item to find, as the original stock has been exhausted, but if
you can find one it is the way to go. Maybe someone from the list can help
you locate one.

Part#100816. Also known as the thermostat switch.

If you go to page 6 of my web site you will find details on how to
locate...check ....and replace the
switch...http://stainlesssteel.freeyellow.com/index.html

PS: I never experienced the fans running with the ignition switch in the off
position. You may have a different problem entirely.
