quote:those thermostats DO NOT require relays
Interesting.......
One can determine what amperage a relay is rated to safely handle. Very easy.
I do NOT know how to determine how much amperage ANY thermostat can safely handle.
Fluidyne offers a radiator thermostat kit.
They include a relay in that kit.
DeTomaso used a relay for the stock fan wring.
Now why would relays be included if they were not needed?
Remember, there are always at least two different approaches to a wiring situation.
The right way.
The wrong way.
The right way will always work, and will continue to do so unless components fail.
The wrong way MIGHT also work, until it doesn't.
Chris, you are free to wire YOUR Pantera in any manner you may choose.
===================================
Once again:
The only current that should be flowing through a radiator thermostat is a grounding connection for the COIL of a properly rated fan power relay.
