Just purchased a 2007 Shelby GT 500 Convertible

[JRC]

Trying to learn about the Car and all of the unique features. Have owned Mustangs but never any with the supercharger. Trying to find out how the coolant system for the Supercharger operates and when the pump turns on. I am guessing it is temperature operated. Have read there is a relay that can be removed and jumped to see if the pump is working. Love the Car should have got one a long time ago. No comparison to my 06 GT. It is a 07 Convertible with 29,000 miles, Black on Black with 1000 Shaker and Red seat inserts. Any help with the pump operation would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to be sure all is functioning properly. Ford just changed the coolant (VC-7-B) in the engine and the supercharger this week.

Thanks for the help. Does anyone know how or if you can get a duplicate of the Invoice and Window Sticker?

Check the intercooler reservoir to see if the coolant is moving around. It will be very visible if it is.

The pump should kick on a few minutes after start up. The pumps are known to go bad from time to time.

If yours doesnt kick on, get it replaced asap. Dont want to drive around with overheated fluid.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if it is Temp actuated or not?

Have confirmed the pump is working, now just need to find a procedure to see if it goes on and off automatically; for lack of a better description.
