Third Thermo switch under 500 miles.  Luckily dealer sent to my house, easy switch out. Fan over ride switch came in and getting ready to install.  Maybe running it manually some times will extend the life of this one.

You know...that thermo switch just sends power to a relay...and if that relay's coil is bad and is using more power then it should, it will overload those thermo switches and take them out pretty fast. With your history with switches, I think I might just change out the fan relay for G.P...and soon.

850 miles, thermo switch

No big deal. Put a new one in and have a spare. I also wired in a manual override.

Glad I have an override installed already as I'm about 830 miles now. I really think some of these fan relay coils are pulling more power then they should be. This is a ridicules number of failing thermos switches..

Damn, what can possibly be the issue with these things? I mean they don't use a lot of voltage, none of the parts are exposed to the elements.  I have my old one still and am planning on opening it up (somehow) I know how it works , I just want to see inside for myself.  Maybe it will shed some light on the problem.

Post pics when you do. I'd like to see a failed one too.

Is there any info on how to wire up the override switch ?
