Tips for Mounting a Flex-a-lite Fan Controller
Most of the Flex-a-lite electric fans come with either and Adjustable Thermostat Controller our Variable Speed Controller. While we've done a segment on wiring them, one of the common questions we get is where is the best place to mount them? There are a couple of things to consider when choosing a location:- You will need it to be close enough to the radiator for the temperature probe to reach.
- You want to keep it away from extremely high heat. Typically, on the radiator support or high and forward on an inner fender panel is good.
- You will also want to mount it high in the engine bay to keep it away from road debris and excessive water that can splash up as you drive.
- Finally, they are water resistant, but not waterproof. Do not mount them in a way that allows water to pool up around the terminals.
