[s-cars] Manual Control of afterrun pump and fan

Noah, I think you can wire a switch between both connections of the 
afterrun thermoswitch, and when you jumper the connections with the switch, 
this should turn both the fan and the afterrun pump on...

Another good idea is to just short these together, this way you have the 
afterrun pump working everytime you turn the engine off, and only for 10 
minutes so it doesn't drain your battery. This will allow a stock K24 turbo 
to last longer in case the thermoswitch fails and never engages again...


HTH,

Mihnea

Has anyone added a switch to control these two things? I'd like to be able
to turn these two things on by hand when I am wanting to cool the car down
faster so's I can work on it sooner.

Anyone btdt? of course reasons why this is a bad idea are also welcome.

(ps - btw impex has oem afterrun pumps for $100)
