The cooling fan switch has a range of 196 - 201 F.

my 93 the gauge goes up about 1/4 of the way and the fan comes on.

my 1991 the fan stays on all of the time and the needle goes up about 1/2 and stays there.

my 92 stays about 1/2, right below the little pic and doesn't move also. but i've never seen the fan on.

My fan doesn't come on unless I've been stuck in traffic idling for 10 minutes, then it is on for about a minute, off for a minute. The sensor was broken when I got my 93, I pulled about 10 from junkyard cars before I found two good ones.

Those figures seem REALLY high- i was thinking that it should go on much lower. Is this to keep the engine warm for better fuel economy perhaps?

I'm installing a manual switch on the dash for the fan, because my festiva is running too hot for my liking. Does anyone know what relay the fan uses?
