How are your E-fan wired?

[Quiksilvia09]

Time to make my car not sound a damn truck

How do you have your fans wired? Some people are skeptic about contoller boxes yada yada yada

Just trying to see how i could wire this

[uperformance]

mines a simple 12v fused switch, toggle on the dash. turn it on when i want. never fails haha

My fans are wired in my car just like it is mentioned in the other thread that come up when you enter electric fan wiring in the little search bar that is located in between new posts and quick links up above in the blue bar :)

Have a great day.

hook it up to your a/c circuit. done

[jacobs13]

Go from your coolant temp sensor and wire in a fused relay, toggle switches work but sometimes people can forget to turn it on or run it all the time which is not good for your alternator or your battery

Fans > relay > switch in center console. TBH, I'm annoyed with the switch so I'll be wiring it to the thermostat soon!

[upsdude]

easiest route is to take out the a/c e-fan, use the pigtail/harness for your new efans. then all you have to do is plug into the a/c harness to the connector and you're done. one fan will kick in or both will kick in if you turn on the a/c. if you wanna get all fancy with extra switches and relay go right ahead but you're overcomplicating the issue

[Leetfade]

Relays are a safety measure so I'm not sure I'd call that "all fancy". The switch in the cabin is definite over kill (as said I'll be removing mine) but I've definitely heard some horror stories of skipping the relays.

Do it right, dont just put a switch and power cable.

I've actually forgotten to flip mine on and seen that gauge rise! At least I caught it before it got too hot and my Mishimotos cool things off fast.. still, PITA and it's easy to forget.

this is the plug i am referring to. haven't had an issue with fried wires or circuits yet. it already has a relay/fuse so you dont need to add more. just look up the fsm to see which color wires are +/- (there are 4 i believe). it's the simplest way to install the fans.

i bought an adjustable thermostat kit from autozone for ~35 bucks, followed the instructions there to wire mine up. never had an issue with them.

i had a bung welded onto my koyo radiator and use a temp sensor http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31AcWMLQOkL._SL500_AA300_.jpg that kicks on at 180 degrees, power is direct to the battery and each fan is fused with a 25amp.

this is the same thing i did on a friends car. we bought the 180 deg switch for $17 and it works like a charm comes with all the stuff you need to wire it and it comes pre wired to the relay.


this is what i made shroud and wired it all up for him

[sidewaysil80]

so i don't have a climate control box to do the a/c thing...so all i need is a 180* switch and 1 relay per fan?
