Fitting manual over-ride switch for cooling fan

Dav · May 28th, 2009, 08:01

Hi all
I've recently bought an "R" plated S70 2.5Tdi with the intention of using it to tow my caravan. The car is in excellent condition both bodily and mechanically having covered 182,000 miles FSH (fully documented with receipts) at Vovlo dealers/specialists.

Having past experience of good mileage diesels (not Volvo although this is my 6th Volvo) I am preparing the car for towing, it already had a genuine Volvo tow bar and electrics, so far I have added spring assistors, and an extra autobox fluid cooler, flushed the auto box and have done an oil/ filter change (the car had a full 80,000 mile service including cam belt change at 178,000).

What I would like to do as a precaution against over heating is to fit a manual over-ride switch (I want to retain the automatic functions) for the cooling fan so that I can control the fan particularly when climbing hills. Can anybody help with the best way to wire this switch up? Dave
