Bust out the multimeter. Some are redundant ground, others are not.

Please help with my electrical ignorance....what does redundant ground do for the circuit?

I have a Be Cool rad and fan set up and the fans are temp controlled. they come on and go off at 160 and I needed them to stay on longer for cool down so I just ran a ground wire off of the temp switch and use the fans manually.
I did buy another temp control which is supposed to come on at 160 and go off at 140 but I have not installed it yet.

Thanks Russ, What control is that? I need something to do the same thing...in the same temperature range.

Moroso temp control switch part # 63760. Will switch on at 165 and off at 140 and can comes with a switch so you have a choice for it to be automatic or manual.

If it's a single wire,it grounds the circuit. Most likely a piezo-resistive sensor that turns the fan on through a relay. It could be that it is slightly more complicated and it senses the grounding, but I doubt that. In either case, tapping in w/ a switch to ground would turn the fans on.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.
