Thermostate Setting for Failing Squarrel Fan

[Jay Darst]

Curt,

I found a Snap-Disc type thermostat buried in the ceiling of the
engine compartment. It is positioned so that it would read the temp
DIRECTLY below the bed, in the engine compartment.

There is a piece of sheet metal that is spaced from the engine
compartment ceiling. The SNAP-DISC thermostat is between the 2 pieces
of sheet metal.

Shane Fideli used the wires that powered the noisey old long skinny
fan to trigger a relay that powered an automotive type fan fastened to
the inside of the curb side engine compartment louvers at the top.

He did a nice job on the installation. I wish I would have looked a
little closer at it. I plan to install a cooling fan the same way.

Shane, if you would send me some close-up pictures of the mounting
procedure for that fan, I would appreciate it much.
