electric fan install help

91cobra5.0 · February 2nd, 2008, 07:38 PM

went to the junkyard today to find an electric fan, i found a newer, like late 99 or early to mid 2000 import with some really slim dual 10" system and figured those would work great, so here i got them home and pulled took off the plug in for the factory system, there were only 2 wires i figured easy, power and ground, black would be the ground, then there was a blue wire and now im confused as to weather that is poer or something else, wt can u guys add?

power could be alot of differnt colors..black is always groung.. if there is only 2 wires u can switch them to change the poliaritys and it will change which way the blade will spin.. just hook it up to a battery to see which way u want ti to spin..

ne body? i even put up pictures of the fan

sounds right, some electric fans pull 15 AMPS, which is a lot. Wire up a relay and a thermometer switch and you'll be set.

You have to run a relay. Use the switch to activate that relay, if you wire it straight from the battery to the switch and then to the fan you will overheat the switch, possibly cause a fire.

91cobra5.0 · February 3rd, 2008, 07:39 AM

that would be awsome wouldnt it, ok so do i just need a generic relay or?

I have a friend whos son has a Mustang and they are pullin it apart to make sure everything is kosher. I have a head question. he said after removing the intake and inspecting the heads everywhere he cannot find no signs of what kind of heads they are. they are aluminum and all he can notice is by using 2 mirrors up under where the intake would mount between cyl 3&4 and on the other side between cyl 5&6 there is the number 9035. besides that he said there is 2 header bolt holes on each side of the port, so each exhaust port has 4 holes. Can anyone give an idea to what heads these might be?

91cobra5.0 · February 3rd, 2008, 02:52 PM

well theres 2 fans its a dual fan system, and wt about the feakin relay?

What about it? I would say to be safe get a 30a relay. Because you have a relay that allows you to use a low current switch. thats it..

e3sean · February 3rd, 2008, 03:22 PM

relays are cheap and easy to use just go to home depot and get one..

91cobra5.0 · February 3rd, 2008, 04:02 PM
