We are talking about the engine coolant fan correct? Your 'Q' is a little confusing. From what I've read the fan mounted to the radiator has two speeds. If you turn the a/c on it should turn the fan on high speed no matter what the coolant temp is. Otherwise it kicks on with coolant temp. The high speed relay is know to burn out. Oddly enough the high speed relay is still needed for the low speed funtion to work. I can't see any reason to change the temp settings for the fan. At highway speeds the fan doesn't run for the most part anyways, it mainly kicks on during in town driving or idling. If your fan is kicking on but the car is getting hot I'd check for a head gasket issue. Or if you did anything with the coolant system this engine is a bear to bleed all the air out of the system. Hope this helps.

The temp switch on my car is 80/88CEL (61318376440) it screws into the side of the radiator.

The fan kinda has a mind of it's own. It's run by a temp switch that doesn't care if the car is on or off only what the coolant temp is. Most times it won't run at all on the highway and will kick on and off in town. However if the a/c is on I believe it runs the fan on high speed all the time. Again pretty simple system I believe if the a/c is turned to the on position it turns the fan on even if the engine is not running but the key is in the on position.

From what I understand with the AC on the fan should run on its low speed. If more cooling is needed then it should switch to the high fan speed.

Correct 100% on my car too. Low fan for A/C and then it will kick high if in heavy traffic in 100 deg heat down here.

I also run a in cabin switch for high fan for the intercooler. It will keep it cool at a stop which all races start from at my track. I flip the switch, high speed fan comes on and I'm ready to boost intercooled air right off the line
