Where is the cooling fan switch on a 1984 Corvette?

The 1984 Corvette has a standalone cooling fan control circuit. The switch is connected directly to the cooling fan relay without any engine computer intervention. The cooling fan switch is located in the passenger side cylinder head between cylinders number six and eight spark plugs.

What should the cooling temperature be on a 1984 Corvette?

1984 Corvettes will have the most noticeable improvement, as the factory cooling fan setting is 238 degrees. Lower temperatures will work at the expense of fuel mileage. There are various cooling fan control switches available to turn the cooling fans on earlier than the factory ECM or PCM controlled settings.

What’s the temperature of a C4 Corvette fan?

I have a 1992 C4 Corvette. One fan comes on at 227 degrees and goes off at 217 degrees. Same fan comes on when the A/C is turned on. Other fan does not come on and it is a new fan. I have checked the relay and it is good.

What kind of cooling system did corvettes have?

GM had a B4P cooling system option available for 1985-1989 Corvettes. This option consisted of an extra cooling fan in front of the a/c condenser, heavy duty radiator and oil cooler.

What is the override switch on a corvette radiator?

Our 244502 (1984-93) or 244503 (1994-95) manually operated switch allows you to override the automatic switch for additional cooling while waiting in the staging area. “Why not run the cooling fans continuously?” Radiator cooling fans were not designed for continuous use and they will fail prematurely.

Where are the relays on a corvette radiator?

The cooling fan relays are mounted on the driver side of the radiator housing. 1990-1993 Corvettes have two relays: a primary and a secondary. 1994-1996 have three relays: primary, secondary and one relay for half speed fan operation.

Where is the relay wire for a corvette cooling fan?

Locate the dark green/white wire at the relay connector. This will make both cooling fans come on simultaneously, meaning less run time for both fans if the cooling system is in good condition. Route the cooling fan harness dark green or blue wire to the main fan relay (near the battery).

What kind of fan control does a 1994 Corvette have?

1994-1996 have three relays: primary, secondary and one relay for half speed fan operation. 1990-1993 Corvettes will have the dark green or blue wire spliced into the fan relay with the dark green/white striped wire for primary fan control. This works best for stock or mildly modified engines.

What kind of cooling system does a Corvette Z06 have?

Developed to meet the Z06’s track cooling requirements, this powerful, 600-watt Radiator Cooling Fan increases the fan speed over the Stingray’s 500-Watt system for greater airflow and enhanced cooling capability. It is a direct replacement for the standard Corvette Stingray cooling fan.

What should the thermostat be for a corvette cooling fan?

The oxygen sensor works more efficiently at high exhaust temperatures promoting less fuel usage and emissions. For this reason, we recommend using a minimum 180 degree thermostat and turning on the cooling fans at the 200-205 degree range.

What’s the best way to cool a corvette radiator?

You might be able to knock off a few degrees with a synthetic oil, and run a 60/40 (more water) mix to get through the summer months. You could go straight water for a parade cruise or track day, then change it back when you return. Electric fans can boost the radiator’s capability to remove this extra heat load.

Why is my radiator fan not working properly?

The fan clutch is the assembly that holds the radiator fan to the engine and makes it turn. If this burns out or fails, you’ll need to replace it. There are springs within the fan clutch that can wear out or corrode over the years. If everything else seems to be fine, the fan clutch is the most likely cause of radiator fan failure.

When to turn off the cooling fan on a corvette?

We recommend using a cooling fan switch that matches the thermostat opening temperature. For instance, our 244455 fan switch turns the fan on in the 200 degree range. When the engine coolant temperature drops below 185 degrees, the cooling fan is turned off.

What should the thermostat be on a corvette?

Don’t forget the 242135 thermostat gasket to properly seal the thermostat housing. Another scenario would be the use of a 195 degree thermostat with the 244455 switch. The fan would run almost constantly as the thermostat regulates the temperature at 195 degrees.

What should the fan temperature be on a 1984 Corvette?

For this reason, we recommend using a minimum 180 degree thermostat and turning on the cooling fans at the 200-205 degree range. 1984 Corvettes will have the most noticeable improvement, as the factory cooling fan setting is 238 degrees.

Where is the low temp fan switch on a 1996 Corvette?

1985-1996 Corvette Low Temp Cooling Fan Control Switch would be installed in this location (driver’s side cylinder head between cylinders 1 and 3). Cut the dark green /white wire at the inner fender well.

How can I make my Corvette cooling fan run simultaneously?

Connect one of the new harness wires to the dark green/white wire. Route the other harness wire to the main fan relay (near the battery). Locate the dark green/white wire at the relay connector. This will make both cooling fans come on simultaneously, meaning less run time for both fans if the cooling system is in good condition.
