On a 2000 Polaris magnum 325, can the thermister be completely removed?

 

You don't necessarily have to remove the thermistor sensor on the oil cooler and the thermistor module under the front panel,just disconnect them. Tie the sensor connector up out of the way,unplug the module wires and secure and if you wish run a toggle on the fan. Fans rarely kicked on anyway with this system unless super hot. Fans kicked on at 260 degrees,off at 240 degrees. Really not necessary imo to have a fan,but this gives you the option of being able to turn the fan on under loads or when driving slow for extended periods of time.

 

Thanks, I should have been more clear. The thermister is burned up and has a hotspot on it. At the price tag for a replacement I was just thinking about removing this on my father-I laws machine. All he uses this for is driving around on his 10 acres of flat ground in Idaho.

 

Unplugging it or removing it does the same thing. Which ever is easier for you.Then you can leave the sensor plugged up and not even worry about the fan.Because the thermistor module gets the signal from the oil cooler sensor to kick the fan on. With the module unplugged or removed does the same thing.With it burned up,it's not going to work anyway.
