ELECTRICS:Remote OIl Cooler Wiring

[Haveacamper]

Hi guys, i wonder if you could help me with wiring my remote oil cooler.

i am currently re-wiring my bus and fitting a remote MOCAL oil cooler under the bus. the fan comes on when the oil reaches a certain temp.

currently i have a relay box with the oil cooler which has a thermostat pin attached to it. you fit this pin inbetween the fins of the oil cooler to meaure the temperature. what i would like to do is to extend this wire so the relay box is inside the bus, but i am not sure whether i should. i beleive that the pin measures the temperature in terms of a resistance - once the resistance reaches a specific value, the fan will kick in.

My question is whether i can simply cut and extend these wires so i can put the relay box in my bus or are these special wires that shouldnt be lengthened due to changing the resistance calibration??????

Thanks in advance

p.s. i think herbie58 may have done the original wiring that i have for NellyBus. if you did mate any assistance to what you did would be very much appreciated.

hi should be able to extend if it was measuring resistance thier would be a contol box and not a relay is its defo a relay should not be a problem

thanks for the help mate - i measured the resistance when i cut the wires and after i extended the wires and all was the same

fitted now
