Jon White Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 As it says really - anyone else had problems with the intermotor leccy fan switches as supplied with the X-fan kits? I've had trouble with several of these now, (including ones directly fitted to the radiator) in that they seem to suffer from water ingress and then stay permanently switched on. Does anyone have a good solution to this problem, or is there a better quality alternate part available from another manufacturer? The intermotor ones appear to be fully sealed, but I know from bitter experience they are not! I know that this is definately water related, as if I leave the truck in the garage for a few weeks to dry out, it all starts working again properly until it gets wet the next time!

FridgeFreezer Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Not had a problem myself but a smear of silly sealant round the join between plastic top and metal body would be first option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Yeah I tried that before and it didnt seem to help, but it might be worth another go........ Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 You could up the ante and use some glue or conformal coating, if your switch is the same as mine that joint between the brass bit and the plastic bit is the only possible place water could get in.

Yeah i'll let it dry out again and try that! Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
