The unit on the radiator is a switch for the indicator light on the dash, not a sensor, it is on when too hot, other wise, during normal temperatures, it is off. The one on the head, is for the ECM .

NOTE; If I remember correctly, the sensor has 2 temp sensors in it, each one referenced to ground, I could be wrong on this point, the schematic doesn't show a ground or a second output.

How thick are the electrical wires for the fan? Stock gauge? If so u should see if the wires itself get hot, I plan on redoing my rad fan wiring with 10ga wires and the hot lead will come from altern

Hmmm. I'll have to take a closer look. When I disconnected the rad switch, my faulty temp gauge that had the needle flopping all over the place stopped working completely. My idiot light never did light at all. So I figured that this switch was for the gauge. Either my machine is wired different (possible but not probable) or then the gauge just happened to quit when I disconnected the switch.

Thanks Kinarfi.

Either way, I'll be doing what Lenny suggested - tap another hole at the head.

      Everybody say hi to another newbie...
      By SpaceGhost
      As with any forum you join, there is a requirement for an obligatory introduction... and that seems fair. How else do you get that first post in there without jumping in with some stupid question right out of nowhere?

      Hi. I'm Space Ghost. Well, not really, but that was my call sign on my last deployment before an IED made me non-deployable, and I an now retired/disabled, and living on my wonderful VA disability. I did almost 28 years in total between the Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard. 1 deployment with the Reserve (Desert Storm) and 3 with the Guard (1 pre, and 2 post 9/11)

      Married (going on 30 years) one of each. (both out of the nest)

      My vehicle is (at least not yet) not a UTV, however, it is an ATV, A 2001 Kawasaki Prairie 400.
       

       
      BTW, That's Brandy, my former PTS/TBI service dog on the bike. RIP old girl. She's internet famous. Perhaps you've seen her before...
       

       
      The reason I'm here is that Arthritis is starting to set into my wounds and my mobility is getting worse. I will be selling the quad bike soon, and going with a SXS, and have selected a Can Am model as the replacement, so I figured I had better get on board a forum somewhere. Just put in for my Guard retirement, and will be very soon looking to get into a Commander 6x6.

      Wouldn't mind having the Limited with the Hvac system, but am really not sure it's worth the extra 10 grand or not. Plus it's 500 pounds heavier, and I prefer the doors off in nice weather. It's so much easier when working in the yard, and so much more fun when on the trail.

      Anyway, I'm here now, so it will help me research more and make up my mind. Plus once I have it, I'll be able to share stories about it and of course, continue to learn more, as it will be my 1st sxs. Still have time before I get my retirement. Takes a good 90 days at least according to the guy I talked to... Typical government efficiency... lol.
