Product Information
Full details
This Ci Ignition Radiator Fan Switch (XEFS314) is designed for vehicle owners and mechanics seeking a reliable replacement for temperature-sensitive radiator fan control. Its key benefit is ensuring your engine stays within optimal temperature ranges by activating the fan precisely when needed. A potential caveat is the need for precise thread compatibility (M16 x 1.5) for installation. This switch features a 1-pin connector, a specific operating temperature range (87°C shut-off to 92°C switch-on), and a spanner size of 17 for easy fitting.

FAQs
What is the function of a radiator fan switch?
A radiator fan switch is a temperature-sensitive device that automatically turns your vehicle's radiator fan on and off based on the engine coolant temperature, helping to prevent overheating.
At what temperatures does the Ci Ignition XEFS314 switch operate?
This switch activates the fan at 92°C and deactivates it at 87°C.
How do I know if this switch is compatible with my car?
You should check if your vehicle's specifications match the M16 x 1.5 thread size, 17mm spanner size, and confirm compatibility with OEM part numbers like GM 94853091 or Toyota 8942812150/8942812160.
Can I install this switch myself?
Yes, with basic mechanical knowledge and a 17mm wrench, you can install this switch. Ensure the engine is cool and follow proper installation procedures.
What does 'spanner size 17' mean?
It means a 17mm wrench or spanner is needed to install or remove the switch.
What is the thread size of this switch?
The thread size is M16 x 1.5.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty information for this product, as it is not detailed in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Radiator fan does not turn on when the engine is hot.
Check electrical connections to the fan switch. Verify engine temperature is above the switch's activation point (92°C). If connections are good and temperature is high, the switch may be faulty and require replacement.
Radiator fan stays on constantly, even when the engine is cool.
The switch may be stuck in the 'on' position. Ensure the engine has cooled below the switch's deactivation point (87°C). If the fan remains on, the switch likely needs replacement.
Coolant leaks around the switch.
The switch may not be tightened correctly or the thread sealant may be insufficient. Carefully tighten the switch (do not overtighten) or remove, reapply sealant, and reinstall.
Engine overheats frequently.
While the fan switch is a common culprit, also check coolant levels, radiator condition, thermostat operation, and water pump function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the engine is cool before beginning.
- Locate the old radiator fan switch (typically near the radiator or thermostat housing).
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the old switch.
- Using a 17mm spanner, carefully unscrew and remove the old switch.
- Apply a small amount of thread sealant (if recommended by vehicle manufacturer) to the threads of the new XEFS314 switch.
- Screw the new switch into place by hand, then tighten gently with the 17mm spanner. Do not overtighten.
- Reconnect the electrical connector.
- Refill coolant if any was lost and bleed the system.

Care:
This is a non-serviceable component. Care involves ensuring a clean installation and checking for any signs of coolant leaks around the switch after installation. Regular engine coolant maintenance is also key to overall system health.
