    Which works great!

    But then I need another temp sensor. The ECM already needs one, so why not use it. Oh, and the ECM can control outputs, so why not use them. And I'm a techy EE who cannot leave well enough alone, so throw that in the mix. :rofl:

    Frank - Are you feeding the fan's high speed right out of the Volvo controller?
