My 1998 Dodge Durango is getting a large electric fan to replace the mechanical one. It was originally equipped with R134a. I want to add either a trinary or high pressure cut off & fan control switch. My question involves the pressure settings for the fan portion. My shop manual lists the various system pressures:
Low cut off: Open @ 10 PSI, closed @ 13-27 PSI.
High cut off: Closes @ 270-330, opens @ 450-490.
The system also has a low temperature cut out switch called an electronic clutch cycling switch. According to the manual, it opens when refrigerant temp is below 37 degrees, and closes just under 40 degrees.
In 2001, these trucks came with a pusher fan in front of the condenser. According to online parts listings, they used a common Mopar trinary switch. I can't find any specs on it as far as pressures, and apparently looking at a shop manual it is a transducer that operates on 5V.
I've shopped switches that have the several functions and just need some advice for fan pressure since there never was any. I can keep the HPCO about where it is for OEM. I've seen trinary and binary HPCO/fan switches with fan ranges anywhere from 164-207 to 238-330 PSI. A bonus would be to find a switch in M10x1.25 since that is what my OEM switch is.
Thanks for any advice.
