Krambo Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Nobody replied to your post so I will chime in for you: Do a search for PCM fan control. The VSC is crap, I have the 282's and the temp probe crapped out, 1 motor burnt up and the VSC melted at the connection for the fan + wire (all separate incidents). I have a custom harness with the PCM trigger at 180 on and 175 off (160 thermo) and it has been great. The fans move more than enough air to keep you cool, hell, I have been running on one fan for a few months now....Need to install the new motor I would first check the temp probe and make sure the probe has the little cap on the end once pushed through the radiator and has an impedance of 10K OHMs. Be sure to mount the probe in the EXACT place FAL tells you to. I would then check that you have the wires on the fans run the correct way (i.e. both fans are pulling air from the OUTSIDE grill). I would also check that your coolant is full and you have no air pockets (see the How-2 section for changing a thermostat and bleeding the system). ...just get a harness and a PCM flash and be done with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Definitely get rid of the VSC. Even without knowing whether you have one, it sounds all too familiar for those that had problems with them. Most have made the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
