Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the specific temperature range for this switch?

This Hella Radiator Fan Temperature Switch activates between 67°C and 82°C.

What type of electrical system does this switch work with?

It is designed for use with standard 12V automotive electrical systems.

What tool is needed to install this switch?

A 29mm spanner is required for installation.

What does 'Normally Open' contact mean?

It means the electrical circuit is open (not conducting) at normal operating temperatures. When the coolant reaches the activation temperature, the switch closes the circuit, allowing power to flow to the fan.

Can I install this myself?

While the physical installation might be manageable, the product information states that installation by qualified personnel is required due to its critical role in engine cooling safety.

What are the thread size and plug type?

The thread size is M 22 x 1,5, and it uses a blade terminal plug type.

Does this part contain any hazardous substances?

Yes, this part contains Lead (SVHC: 7439-92-1).

How do I ensure this switch is compatible with my vehicle?

Verify the thread size (M 22 x 1,5), system voltage (12V), and compare the listed OEM and Interchange Part Numbers (e.g., 0242.12, 6ZT 007 800-011) with your vehicle's specifications before purchasing.

Troubleshooting

Radiator fan not turning on

Check electrical connections to the switch. Verify the engine is reaching the activation temperature (67°C-82°C). Test the switch's continuity when hot. If the switch is faulty, replace it.

Radiator fan stays on constantly

The switch may be stuck in the closed position or the engine is genuinely overheating. Check coolant levels and flow. If the fan operates correctly when the engine is very hot but stays on, the switch may need replacement.

Coolant leaks around the switch

Ensure the switch is properly tightened (using a 29mm spanner). Check the sealing surface on the radiator/engine block for damage. The switch seal may be compromised and require replacement.

Engine overheating intermittently

Verify the fan is engaging at the correct temperature. Check the radiator fins for blockages. Ensure the thermostat is functioning correctly and coolant levels are adequate. If other components are fine, the temperature switch may be failing to activate the fan at the right time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Manufactured to OE-quality standards for dependable performance.
  • Precise temperature activation range (67°C - 82°C) ensures efficient cooling.
  • Designed for standard 12V automotive electrical systems.
  • Robust construction for durability in demanding engine bay environments.
  • Includes all necessary specifications (thread size, spanner size) for proper fitment.

Cons

  • Requires installation by qualified personnel, limiting DIY application for some users.
  • Contains Lead (SVHC), which may have environmental and health considerations.
  • Specific thread size (M 22 x 1,5) and spanner size (29mm) mean it's not universally compatible without checking.
  • Part numbers need careful verification against vehicle specifications to ensure correct fitment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Safety First: Ensure the engine is completely cool before starting.
  2. Locate Switch: Identify the current radiator fan temperature switch on the radiator or engine block.
  3. Drain Coolant: Partially drain the cooling system to prevent significant coolant loss during removal.
  4. Remove Old Switch: Use a 29mm spanner to carefully unscrew the old switch.
  5. Install New Switch: Screw the new Hella switch into place, ensuring a snug fit. Do not overtighten.
  6. Reconnect Wiring: Attach the blade terminal connector to the new switch.
  7. Refill and Bleed: Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant and bleed any air pockets.
  8. Test: Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature, verifying the fan engages and disengages correctly.

Compatibility:

  • Thread Size: M 22 x 1,5. Always verify this matches your radiator or engine block port.
  • System Voltage: 12V.
  • Activation Range: 67°C - 82°C.
  • Interchange Numbers: 6ZT 007 800-011, KW 550 004, EPS 1.850.004, 7.5004.
  • OEM Numbers: 0242.12, 204404, 24210, 90-43236-0.

*Always double-check part numbers and measurements against your vehicle's specific requirements before purchasing.* Installation by qualified personnel is required.

Care:

This is a sealed unit designed for long-term operation within the cooling system. No regular maintenance or user-added care is typically required. Ensure the electrical connection remains clean and free from corrosion. In the event of leaks, inspect the sealing surface and retorque if necessary, or replace the switch if damaged.
