Porsche 944 radiator help

Feb 02, 2005 2 Replies

HI, I have 1984 Porsche 944, but it has some strange problems. You have to unplug the radiator when you are not driving the car, or else it keeps running. If I keep it on the battery dies, I need help with this. I assume its electrical but I dont know anything about cars. Thanks for the help.

JR77,

I have a 1984 944 and have had similar problems. I resolved my issue by replacing the thermal switch mounted in the radiator just below the upper radiator hose.

Hope this helps.

Same here. My thermal switch went and found the problem by hooking up jumper cables and hearing the fan come on instantly. When I parked it, I didn't realize the fan never shut off. It's a real easy fix. Wish all of my auto troubles were that easy. Best of luck.
