Why do you want one? For less than the price of that kit, you could have your PCM reflashed to turn the fans on at a lower temp, plus much more.

If you're adding a fan switch because your car is overheating, diagnose and repair the problem(s). A fan switch is only a band-aid in that case.

Have you verified that your fans are working properly? If your PCM is reflashed, minor mods should not lead to overheating. Something in your cooling system is not working as well as it should, be it the fans, radiator, water pump or something else. A fan switch won't help that.

One fan is not coming on. I am looking into that. But when we are having 106 degree weather with 80 and 90% humidity. It had trouble last year with both fans. I just would like to be more so in control. When you love your car this much and you are miles from home. You never want to see hot pop up there.

If it's the passenger (primary) fan that is out (it usually is), fixing it will result in cooler running.
