Electric Fan Question

Is the only way to get the fans to come on earlier to get a manual switch or is there just a relay that I can plug in???

What? How could plugging in a relay make it come on faster?

To answer though, you reprogram the PCM to make the fans come on at the desired temp.

You can reprogram the stock computer. I did the switch. The parts cost about $4 bucks and it took all of 35 minutes to install. Piece of cake. The diagram on shbox was spot on.

Through the computer is the CORRECT way.

Don't forget most people add a manual switch along with the PCM programming so they can operate the fans with both.
