Finally--Electric fan
« Reply #30 on: August 12, 2012, 11:33:28 PM »
any updates on this?  I would really like to wire my fan up this way with the advantage of it being independent of the aux fan.

okay, using wizard's pic.

Just want to run this by you guys to see what you think.  

I plan to splice the yellow wires into the rad temp sensor, hi to hi, low to low, then simply run the last red wire to the battery with a inline fuse.  Sound good?   Should be able to keep the aux fan independent correct?  If it overloads the alt, I'll simply disable the aux fan.

I think you may be over complicating this installation. If you search for Justin's threads, he has a detailed description of how to disable the aux fan and install an electric fan with a 2-speed motor.  It's really, quite simple.

Along with this, you retain the system built into the car to start the fan when the conditions are properly met. Adding extra circuits and extra fuses is completely unnecessary.

Using Justin's write up, I am happy to say that I have had this conversion for the past year in Hawaii without a hickup. Granted, I put in a lower temp fan switch, but the fan comes on its self just after the 1/2 way mark - every time, using the wires and relays that are already built into the car.
