Electric fan question......

Reply #15 –
Years ago, my fan was done according to the diagram I found and shared the link to. It worked great for a very long time. The fan was 16 years old, and died, so, I got a brand new one. I didn't wire it originally, he did. I got started installing the new fan and thought that somewhere along the way, I messed up. Only to find out that the brand new solenoid was no good. Now, it's wired per the diagram I showed, and working great.

Since you've got a 2 speed fan, you should wire the solenoid to the low speed side, and wire a temp switch to fire the high speed side.  It would cut the noise, and reduce overcooling, then when you need it, you've got that extra cooling in reserve.

nice suggestion on the relays Foe,
vinnie, i get it,,
you need to understand your setup so you can troubleshoot later.  I get what your doing and getting a constant on fan has some disadvantages especially in local city traffic,, not really on highway.

either way glad to hear your up.

Thanks a lot. As simple as a fan relay kit probably is, that stuff just racks my brain. Not a secret. LOL.

Jay i think i sent you some BOSCHE 75 AMP HD relays. Those things are great for FANS. Also the HD power relays posted come in 100% duty cycle capability. We use them in ambulances and fire engines. They come in 100 150 and 200 AMP continuous duty as well. They come 3 wire or 4 wire depending on the application you need.
