Electric fan relay kits

I pulled a fan out of a Taurus a while ago and want to hook up an electric temperature relay to it so it will turn on when the motor gets to a certain temperature.

Motor: 292 I6
Thermostat: 180


Any recommendations?

Re: Electric fan relay kits

I swapped my 180 for a 190 and still think it runs too cool, so I installed a manual dash switch with a SpeedWay.com relay kit.

Only time I need it on is on a hot summer day when running the a/c in slow traffic.
Hardly ever need to turn it on here in Iowa.

Re: Electric fan relay kits

However you hook it up, make sure it will use a 2-speed fan, like the Taurus.
