Craig,

I'm not sure with an 82 mine are 88 and 90 but it is a single component with
a high and a low speed based on temp.  I believe, check Bentley, when it
shuts off by not having power, i.e. coolant isn't hot enough to trigger the
fan to turn on.

Subject: radiator fan switch speed [was Re: this is not the forum]

Are there two speed settings for the radiator fan?  There are three
male connectors on the switch which is located on the drivers side of
the radiator.  I have a manual switch connecting the center and far
driver's side electrical lead.  I had thought that the other lead was
to shut off the fan when the temp got too cool.  Is this for another
speed?
I  have a 1983 water-cooled Westy.
