    What temp t-stat are you using? If you currently have the recommended 88C/190F t-stat, a 190/175 switch might be too low. As soon as the t-stat starts to open, the fans will switch on and run constantly. The 190/175 switch seems more appropriate if you're running an 82C/180F t-stat.

    IDK which Tstat is in there. I'm thinking I may have gone with a 180 since it runs so hot. But I'll find out when I change the housing and act accordingly. I'm going to start a new thread for the electric fan install when it's done.
