Absolutely, you can wire your radiator fan to the 20Amp relay on the sensor and set temperature at 88-90C

I was once driving a 2002 Cuore with 3 passengers around my neighborhood and stopped at a friend's house to pick him up before a trip across town. While I was waiting for him to come out of his house, I noticed the temp gauge was creeping up so I asked his chaukidar for some water to add to the reservoir. After picking him up, we drove 1 block and i noticed the temp gauge creeping to the red zone at which i pulled over and quickly shut off the car.

After quick diagnostics, i confirmed the problem to being the fan not running. The fuse was fine. So I parked the car until morning. The next morning I drove very cautiously (low rpms) to the mechanic who said I needed a new fan motor.

The original fan was connected direct to the ignition....I asked him to connect the new one properly to the relay. The car ran fine afterwards and thanks to Allah no warped head or gasket.

Thanks for sharing, I believe the issue is far too common as we donot impound older cars even when they become unsafe to drive, some families cannot afford expensive repairs let alone a expensive new car. This thread is simply a proof of concept that we can simply add an alarm as a fail-safe to all cars that either:
1. Reduce Coolant
2. Run on uber/careem in hot weather
3. Driven by inexperienced drivers i.e: Ladies and children
4. Simply add a layer of protection to avoid common issues

You can purchase from given link in above post and install it yourself. I will try and publish an updated guide soon but due to hot weather and ramadan i’m unable to work on the car.
