Hey guys,

Can someone with a bit of electrical knowledge tell me if something like the thermostat switch linked below could activate the engine fan(s) without causing any issues, ie with the ECU if both the ECU and this switch attempts to run the fan simultaneously?

Background info: Would like the fan to come on in the event that the ATF fluid temps spike. Car is fitted with an external ATF cooler but this is for traffic driving and/or just a precaution.

Well I'm glad to be of assistance lol

If you haven't bought a cooler yet you can get ones that have fans on them with these thermostat switches.
