Um so I have driven my car around for about 50 miles total never getting it above 210, so I thought, ok it's to cold. So today I go out with an infared temp gauge pull the thermo and put fire to it with the ignition on. Nothing, No fan movement, checked power to the fans, got it, I havent checked the fans them selves, but to be sure i was just going to buy a new thermo switch. Any one know what type? or a brand?

Ya shouldda used a heat gun on the thermostat to see if it was functional.
The one I use is set to kick the fan relay at 180 degrees.
But I don't own a V8 conversion ... just a flat six conversion and the fan is on the oil cooler. Same shit, different fluid.

It needs to be grounded right?

The temp switch is a warp switch. As the metel tang heats up it warps and makes contact completing the circuit. In case you don't have one you will want to add a relay to lighten the current. That what fry's them.

All taken care of. The switch in a renegade set up need to be grounded, and did work once I applied heat with a heat gun. Thanks slits...
After I got it going and popping a fuse and some rewiring it worked just great.
Thanks guys...
