From William's description I think he may have a manual switch which
overrides the thermo switch. I have one (VW fog light rocker switch for
2-speed operation) as most of my driving is in the mountains. If I'm
starting up a steep grade on hot day and have 24 miles of 'up' ahead of
me I don't wait for the thermo switch to turn the fan on, I just do it
manually and give the radiaotr a chance to keep it's cool.
