I have a question, my 1100 came with the toggle switch already installed, as i am assuming the thermal switch broke. So if i were to purchase the geo switch and install it would i need to disconnect the toggle switch, do the both actually attact at the same spot?

Yes, you can remove the added switch. Just to be on the safe side leave the switch alone and connect the thermoswitch in parallel to the added switch. Then leave the added switch in the off position. Ride the bike for awhile to make sure the new thermoswitch works okay for you. If it doesn't you can always use the added switch, if it does work okay you can remove the added switch. I don't think there will be a problem with the thermoswitch that Peterbylt is using but you have the opportunity to go the belt-and-suspenders route since the added switch is already there.

I attached my bypass switch right at the thermal switch so I would not have to cut the original wiring harrness. When I put in the Geo switch I left the bypass switch in place as a backup but have not had to use it since the Geo switch was installed. Peter

Just wanted to let everyone know for an FYI, I called an Advance Auto Parts today about this switch and they let me know that they recently switched over to a different model and no longer carry the BWD. but they do have a new brand, forgot what exactly it was but this new switch is $42.94. Has anyone purchased one of these since they made the switch do they work just as well?

The information in this post is INCORRECT!!! I sincerely apologize for the Misinformation. The Honda Thermostatic switch IS NOT an m16 thread! My Mistake. My Fault. My Error. And to my surprise when my new thermostatic switch literally fell in the hole. I thought I did my homework....and I also thought I was the smartest man in these shoes...Apparently that is not the case. Again my sincerely apology. GL1100 Replacement Thermostatic Fan Switches I Believe this info to be accurate but please Always Investigate by asking your sales person questions Before purchasing. Note: The following switches have a lower temp range than OEM Honda. OEM Temp Range: Closed Switch Temp Range=98c to 102c, Open Switch Temp Range=93c to 97c. All are m16 X 1.5, N.O., 4mm Male Bayonet Connection, Closed Switch Temp Range=88.5c to 91.5c . Open Switch Temp Range=82c to 88c.

Been reading this thread and I was wondering if this will work for an 86 1200I. My fan is currently wired with a toggle switch.

bbstacker, The above mentioned Thermo Switches should fit all models from 1975 thru 1987. A word of caution......I do not recommend running the OEM thermostat with these Thermo Switches. Your fan will be running all the time. I use the Stant 13868 82 deg C.

The wells # SW504 switch is available at autozone. It looks identical to the original oem switch and you do not need to change the wiring over. You will need to have them cross reference it sice there are (2) of the same numbers in their system. One of the numbers is available as stock in some stores. I just picked it up for $15.99. Autozone # 002683 I'll take a pic tonight and post it.

Yes, I realized that last night when I went to install it. The threads are incorrect.

I just spent 30 min. with the guy at Advance Auto trying to get the part described here in the pics. The reference to the 94 Geo doesn't work. The part number in the pic on the box is not in stock in any warehouse nor crosses over with NAPA, O'Reilly or Autozone. I think maybe that was the only one in existence. Damn... had my hopes up...

I bought the Wells SW 504 and it does not fit the 78. The threads are too small. It just falls in the hole. Take that one off the 1000 list. Taking the old one with me tomorrow to try and match one.

So IF a relay is needed, wouldn't go on th eneg side? Also, what about the horns, light, turn signals and other electric parts? What do they draw? Also I've owned a Geo and I believe the fan is a bit bigger than a GW. I would think a larger motor would draw more amps than a smaller one (but I'm not even close to knowing alot about this stuff). The next question I have is, would this work for the GL1000?

The Borg Warner part # TFS-596 is still a good #. The reference to a 94 GEO is also good. There are several different metros like "LSI" , "MR" etc. The TFS-596 is for a 94 metro "MR" series with 1.o L. engine. Car Quest part # is TS-306. Maybe the guy at Advance Auto you talked to had been doing a taste test with carb cleaner or something just before you walked in.
