Thumbs up Re: Question about stock fans?

This is what I'm going to do later this summer. I already have the fan, 35.00 shipped off of EBAY, now I need a controller &/or diagram to hook it up. Look Here!!

I've put a Taurus fan in my TJ & just used a 50 amp switch, fuse & 30 amp breaker hooked straight to the battery, so I have to turn it on & off & not forget about it when I'm in traffic or stopped idling. But the breaker cycles continuously once it gets hot so I'm going to step up to a 50 amp breaker & see how that works out.

It's funny though, the cycling doesn't happen if I have the engine off, just when it's running. It's weird. I don't get it.

I'll spend a little more money & effort on the blazer, to get the maxima fan to work & look halfway decent, but I need to be able to steer it before I worry about that so much.

Also, I don't think that 210-220 is really too bad. Most vehicle's nowadays run that hot from the factory, (helps with fuel efficiency & EFI controls), so as long as you keep an eye on it I think you'll be OK. But no blaming me if it blows up!!

My .02,
Buddy
