Default Temperature sensor range advice

Please be an adult and only address the issue I'm asking about.. not galaxy brain solutions to prove you're just so smart...


​​​​​94 caprice wagon
LQ4 6.0
Stock LT1 radiator
07 Town&Country dual fans off a 3.8 V6
Stock fan was mechanical.

I've tried having the tuner patch the Green Blue PCM to make the fans function... added pins. .. Still no dice.
I'm giving up on the PCM, and moving forward to add some inline temp sensors to switch on my relays in the Current Performance Fuseblock Sa-1000.
This fuseblock also helps solve my A/C cycling challenges, so I'd like to keep it.

IM NOT INTERESTED IN PCM TUNER ADVICE.


These switches won't function as dual speed fans.
It'll be fan 1 ON/OFF at X/X temperature, full speed..
Fan 2 ON/OFF at X/X temperature, full speed.
II definitely don't want them both kicking on at the same time and having a fat draw of current.

I'm wondering what values of sensors I'll need since its not a Low, High situation.... but 2 full speed / same size fans.

I believe a good operating temp is 210-220. What sensors temperature values do you recommend so I can make the right choice the first time and not have to revisit this.

AGAIN... NOT LOOKING FOR ANY INPUT BUT TEMPERATURE SENSOR ADVICE. Thanks

Listen kid, you don't even know what you're even doing. the ******* thing says TWO STAGE in the description. It even says the temp ranges, are you BLIND?

You wire the two stages as low/high. Told you already.

Lets be an adult and actually listen to those that know more about the stuff than you clearly do.

What are you even asking, literally the damn thing says the stuff you are literally asking.....it is a temp sensor. You want a temp range look up the stock specs. Then again you'll argue with that too.

Delete it again.

It's almost like I asked what ranges I needed.

Weird.

We can't give you PCM programming advice because those of us that do it and tell you what you need to do to where you get it right you won't listen to, so go blow money and chase your *** on parts you DON'T need.

Not my money and my vehicles run fine.. for a reason. Knowledge.

You're so annoying you make me want to avoid this site altogether.

Your grumpy prostate is ******* toxic.

Seek therapy my man...

I'm sure your ex wife has.

Being an internet edge Lord is pretty pathetic for a kid, much less a grown man.

Never been married, not old enough for prostate issues. Just manage people who are a waste of oxygen and wonder how they now have infected the good forums.

Sounds like you have to run when someone puts you in your place, run Forest run...

I see you deleted the other one.... lets make it three....

You want to avoid this site because you want to try building what you have the hard way, your way, no other way, and don't want to listen to anyone who gives you the CORRECT way to do it.

Like I said already and you deleted it because coward:

You come in a forum asking for advice, you don't criticize the advice.

Clearly you know how you want to do it so go do it and don't ask us what we think. We with our running and driving cars are clearly ****** up...
