I also have a bad thermo switch on my 82 interstate. until recently, I thought the fan was always suppose to run. Question: Does it hurt anything if the fan is always running? This looks like something I can pull off it needs to be fixed.

The only issue I would have with allowing the fan to run all the time is that the charging system is not the best on the 1100's so if you leave it running all the time you could run your battery down.

My fan usually only runs after I have been in stop and go traffic for more than 20 min.

Hey There;

Mine also has been running since i bought it, I thought the former owner had rigged it that way, will a thermostat fix it or do I have to change the them sensor deal has well? also can you or someone tell me is the dang horn & turn switch on same fuse, befor I changed starter relay, starter & batt plus did the valve adj. I hooke up my horns since the four wires were disconnected, when i tried to use um, the turns no longer beeped they do now , but then they blew the fuse! so I diconnected the horns I want t o add an air or just yank one off my Van, still have both horns they look fairly new, could it be they just were'nt grounded well? kinda stumped! Thank's

remeber I said i did get my valves done, I did but still have a tiny tick, sometimes it drops off has oil pressure is up, should i still has a rookie go back in and try to fine tune evn more, and will a older wing ever be super quiet like the new one's? I wish there was someone up here in Saint Paul who did this and could give me some help lol.
Peace!

The Thermo switch is on the right front side of the thermostat housing. See the very first posting in this thread for a picture. Pull the connector off of the Thermo switch if this stops the fan then the Thermo switch needs to be replaced. If the fan keeps running then it has been hard wired some place and you will have to trace it down. I would start with the connector where the fan motor connects to the wiring harness right near the coils.
