Radiator Fan Relay

akatagyourit · August 1st, 2007, 02:59 AM

Where is it at? There is no box of relays in my engine compartment and there is no fuse in the fuse panel for the radiator fan. Where is the relay located? Worked my ass off on the car this week and now the fan doesn't turn on unless I set it on a ignition hotwire. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hey
i had that same problem.

it could be a few things.

but first does it turn on when you turn the ac on?
if not
then its probably the relay or a bad wiring.
the easiest and cheepes t way to get around it which is what i did

run two wires to a switch inside the car and then run tweo more wires from that to your fuse box inside , just find a fuse thats only hot when the ignition is on,
i think it might be 17 actually.

but yeah youll be able to flip it on

good luck bro

Well currently its wired in through the a/c which has been removed cept the wiring. Its currently set to turn on when the ignition is on. I don't like it running like this is due to the amount of time it will take for the car to warm up. I'm still awaiting delivery of the 180 degree thermostat so I can at least force the engine to warm up till that opens. None the less I don't like the fan running 24/7 puts a strain on the charging system specially at night. Fan + headlights + tons of stereo equipment = battery never gets recharged.

Hourofpain · August 4th, 2007, 04:27 PM

well than splice it off and rewire it like i said lol
it takes o about 20 mins.
theres a grommet in the firewall where alot of the wiring for the dash and stuff comes in use that.

gills99stang · August 4th, 2007, 04:28 PM

If I wired my fan like that I would be afraid that I would forget to turn it on...

TurboLX · August 4th, 2007, 04:30 PM
