[whayden2003]

Just talked to my dealer Brookhaven Honda. Clueless to this "Heat mangement kit". Going to call Honda when California wakes up.

What is the amp draw on them individually?

Here are the Amp Draw Specs for Attwood 3" & 4" blowers. I was surprised to see the 4" has lower amp draw?

Exactly what i was looking for! Thank you! This really pushes me toward trying the Turbo 4000 due to the lower amp draw and increased cfm.

I've been thinking about an automatic on/off set up for the blower triggered by heat. I am very interested in an inexpensive idea for accomplishing this. Any Ideas?

that's funny, lower amp draw but calls for a bigger fuse

Need a thermostatic switch that reads air temp.

Makes me wonder if the info is correct or they just threw some numbers out there lol

Setrab 10A 12V 1/8" NPT Thermal Switch TS-1X0

like this?

Talked with Honda America in California. Spoke with Mr. Massi. He said that Honda is aware of the issue and a case worker will be calling me in two days. I'm hoping this will be something that can be mailed to me as I would hate to send my ride to Honda service jail.

It says fluid cooling system so I'd bet it doesn't read air temp.

So we each have to call individually? Can you please post that number for American Honda? Thanks!

1-866-784-1870 this is the number to call to report our heat issues. I explained the hot center seat and the extreme hot air coming from the dash. And how riding this weekend we splashed threw a two inch water spot and I steamed the heck out my niece. Wife not happy.

 

[whayden2003]

And so everyone knows. They were very helpful and grateful to hear the issues I had. Very nice conversion. I was happy with the customer service so far so good. I'm a little upset at my dealers response. But I think Honda customer service is stand up so far.

Oh come on Delton! Dont be so negative. Lets make it work. All we need is to design is a threaded container that holds fluid, preferably with a site glass, located under the seat, which the sensor could be installed into. When the fluid heated to the 180 degrees it would trigger the fan. I saw all of that stuff on your work bench and i am betting that with a "McGyver" style approach you will have more than enough parts to do this. lol

What do you think?

I've seen that bench first hand.... He's got it all... lol

I think that could be done with this unit as a kit. I don't think it needs to be based off of air. I used a kit similar to this near the fireplace in our bus to turn on a blower to circulate the warner air

Hey I never said I couldn't build it lol. I just said one that reads water temp won't read air temp. Making one would be easy. I got lots of black pipe and fittings laying around along with a 1/8" npt tap for the sensor. The sight glass would be the hardest part.
I'd be fine with just flipping a switch when my arse started getting hot lol

No ambient air temp thermostatic switch lol

A water temp will work as well you just place it a little closer the the heat source. It takes just a little longer to turn on/off in air then water

I called the number as well and they asked which dealership I would like to work on it and that they would contact the dealer and have them arrange to and work on resolving the issue, he also said if anyone else was having the problem to call them as well and get it in the system. American Honda is aware of the issue and he assured me it will be taken care of.
