Fan Switch on Federal Sprint

PostPost by: tvacc » Tue Oct 08, 2024 2:14 am

All,
What is the fan switch on the Federal Sprint? I have a plain what I believe to be the wrong sort on my car.
Does someone have a picture they could post?

Edit,
Sorry all. Like I said before, been a long time since I sat in a Sprint. Looking at pictures on the web, I think maybe the "Fan" switch installed where the lighter used to be may be used for the Rad Fan and the defrost switch right next to it is probably the fan. I will do a bit more messing with the car. Have not really driven it yet except a few miles to work and back.

Let me use the switches.

Tony, the Dash is not standard but it sounds like you have it right....

What is labelled "Defrost" is probably the standard "fan" switch for the heater fan.
What is labelled "Fan" (in place of the cigarette lighter) is probably a manual switch to turn on the radiator fan added by a prior owner, certainly not factory.

Here is a picture of my standard Federal Sprint dashboard:
