just an update
I had gotten the resistors awhile back and even the connectors from JimF. This weekend I got caught in some pretty horrendous NYC traffic jams and my temps went up and over the 100 deg mark and triggered the aux fans. The following morning I cobbled up a 1.8k pigtail from my parts collection and plugged it in. Sure enough I got caught in an even worse jam than the previous one. This time though, my temps would hover just beneath the 100 deg line and never even touched it. It did stay up there though, so I think that it was cutting out at about 95 degs. Temps went back down after the traffic eased up. It only took a half hour to make the first pigtail so I think I'll make me a 1.5k version and see how that behaves. BTW, I used this hi- temp silicon wrap I got at RS to cover the exposed wires as a precaution against engine bay heat.
