Installing my radiator fans, the kit comes with a temp switch that is adjustable. I'm looking at what I have and compare it to the picture on the website:
I realize that I'm missing something as all I have is the temp switch. So I shoot an e-mail over to the vendor
"I purchased a dual electric fan kit from a few months ago. I am finally getting around to installing the fans and realized that the kit did not have the mounting bracket for the sensor, there is also not a faceplate or anything to tell what the temp setting is. I did not see a knob in the photo, does the kit come with one as I did not get one of those either. Is it possible to get these sent to me?
I assume it is the bracket in this photo on your website: (I copied the phot from above into the e-mail)

First reply:
Rick,
There is not normally a faceplate or knob. I believe Radio Shack has a knob with a set screw that would work. I will send you the bracket for the thermostatic switch.
Thanks
Then the second:

After further review…… I learned something today……WE DO Have a knob that will work on the switch. I am including it with the relay-switch bracket along with the mounting screws. I am putting it in a mail pouch and mailing it to you.
Thanks
Soooo, I reply
Just curious, if there is no faceplate, how does one tell what the temp setting is?
and get the 3rd reply
The temp setting will vary from rad to rad according to amount of air flow, compartment temp etc. that is why it is adjustable to be able to tweek it where you want the fan to come on at.
Am I missing something here? Do I wait until the cars temp gauge reaches say, 180 then adjust the switch until it kicks on? As simple as this seems, I'm kinda stumped.
