So I have my mostly stock VMAX and I've been upgrading some things along the way.
Did the crimp fix and indeed I went from 16vdc charging to 17.1 vdc charging. Phenomenal!
The thing has been running hot as hell whenever I get stuck in traffic or behind damn Sunday drivers. So I ordered the switch from Vmax Outlaw to have the fan switch come on 20F sooner.
Well I got it last week and decided to go ahead and put it in. While I was there I decided to flush the whole cooling system and get some fresh stuff in there. So I went through the whole deal and then got the switch installed.
Very excitedly I turned on the key in preparation of the new upgrades and what happens? The damn fan comes on as soon as I turn the key!
Now the thing hasn't run in a couple days and has fresh, cold, fluid in it so I'm like FUCK! Had to borrow wrenches from a neighbor just to get the old one out and new one in since I don't have any that big. Already brought them back too!
I gave the damn thing a few wacks with a hammer to see if I could free up the switch but no dice. So now I gotta take the damn thing out, put back in the stock switch and wait for a turn around from Outlaw.
What a pain in the ass! I know I read they tested the switches before sending them out so WTF!
Very disappointed. Anyone else had problems with their switches?
