Looking to wire a single Taurus fan on my SD using a thermostatic relay and an AC relay. Simple enough, but I am wanting the thermostatic relay to be based on tranny temp. Here's my thinking...
Moving >30
the only reason the fan would need to be on while moving is because I'm towing and need the trans temp down or if I have the AC on (which is why I have the AC relay)
Stopped<30
AC is on (AC relay again)
Stop-n-go (trans temp increases, clicks on fan)
it's hot...I'll have the AC on..you see where this is going.
So, fan on when trans temp reaches 150*, fan on when AC is activated, fan off any other time...anyone see any flaws?
Looks like this one has electronic sending unit and AC switch

I am trying to stay away from the radiator probe ones because the only way I think this will be accurate is if it is submerged in tranny fluid and I don't think I can tuck this up into a hose and have a worm clamp seal around the wire...unless someone knows something different...then I would use this controller than includes a beefy enough relay and the AC relay all in one.
Flex-a-lite Variable Speed Controllers: FLX-33054 - summitracing.com Unfortunately this one conflicts, it says in one place 155 turn on and 180 in another...
What do y'all think,
