Global Parts 1711429 Engine Cooling Fan Switch

Engine Cooling Fan Switch for OE-Style Cooling Control

Global Parts 1711429 is an engine cooling fan switch used to send temperature feedback to the engine management system. On modern vehicles, the ECM uses this signal to manage A/C operation and cooling fan control; on earlier applications, the switch can directly shut off the compressor to help prevent compressor damage.

Key Features

• Engine cooling fan switch for temperature-based cooling system control
• Provides feedback to the engine management system for ECM-controlled operation
• Supports A/C compressor protection on earlier vehicle applications
• OE-style replacement for select Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models
• Cross-references Four Seasons 36662 for the same application

Detailed Description

This Global Parts 1711429 engine cooling fan switch is built for vehicles that rely on a temperature switch to regulate cooling fan and A/C compressor operation. It is used on applications such as the 1997-2001 Cadillac Catera, 1987-1991 Chevrolet Cavalier, and 1987-1990 Chevrolet Celebrity, along with other select Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Cadillac models. The switch helps the ECM receive the temperature input needed to manage cooling strategy and, on older systems, can directly interrupt compressor operation when temperatures rise.

Global Parts 1711429 also cross-references UAC SW11176C and Sunsong 2207166 for the same application. For buyers searching by vehicle, this part is a direct fit for select Cadillac Catera, Chevrolet Cavalier, and Pontiac Firebird cooling system applications listed below.

What It Helps Address

• Cooling fan not cycling on at the correct temperature
• A/C compressor shutting down from temperature-related switch failure
• Incorrect engine temperature feedback to the ECM
• Overheating concerns tied to a faulty fan switch
• Intermittent cooling control on older temperature-switch systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, thread specification, and vehicle application before installation. One listed fitment note for the 1987-1988 Cadillac Cimarron specifies 3/8 female threads and use with pigtail 1711451. Confirm the original switch location and compare the replacement to the removed part before service.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts supplies this cooling fan switch as an OE-style replacement for the listed applications. Confirm fitment by year, make, and model before ordering.
