Anyone used a different thermostat that triggers the coolant afterrun pump at a lower temp?

Default Thanks! please keep us posted on what you find

I'm no EE by any means, so if you figure something out, please share it. How would you complete that circuit so it just runs everytime? I guess I should take a look at it

sounded like they were talking about just wiring the two leads together to complete the circuit.

I'd look at it, but have no clue where it is. Got a diagram?

Default i would strongly recommend against simply shorting the switch :)

hopefully we can find a better solution, but you can find where the thermoswitch is in the tech section<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng37.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng37.shtml</a</li></ul>
