2 fan mod this is the info I got from a fellow 2gnt on aim
in the chiltons, Suterboy: ok.. on page 3-33 Vegasdsmr: uhuh Suterboy: there are some wireing stuff on the fans Suterboy: what you need to do is find the connector to the fan that is working.. Vegasdsmr: ok, by usin a test light? Vegasdsmr: while car is on? Suterboy: unplug it and from the pic find out what is possitive an what is negative Suterboy: the left fan should always come on Vegasdsmr: well, the dr side one comes on once in a while Vegasdsmr: not the pass side one Vegasdsmr: the dr side one, hits my airbox, not the engine Suterboy: well the passenger side one should only really come on when you use the acc Vegasdsmr: oic Suterboy: but mine wasnt doing even that anymore
Suterboy: ok.. a good way to test both fans is to get 2 wires Suterboy: and connect one side to the battery.. Vegasdsmr: uhuh Suterboy: then test the connections to the fans Vegasdsmr: pos or neg? Suterboy: well like you were to run the fan directly off the battery Suterboy: bot pos an neg Suterboy: then run the other ends of the wires to the harness to one fan then the other.. Vegasdsmr: but i can ground that neg anywhere tho right?
Vegasdsmr: which connections do i connect from connector one to two Suterboy: you basically just disconnect the other harnes from the other fan Suterboy: you basically just disconnect the other harnes from the other fan Suterboy: and run wires from the fan that is working to the one that wasnt comeing on Suterboy: run them wherever you want.. just secure them so they dont go anywhere Vegasdsmr: ahh, Vegasdsmr: do i need to add a fuse or anythiin like that? Suterboy: you can just tap the wires before the harness conector Suterboy: nope Vegasdsmr: cool Vegasdsmr: what kinda gauge wire did u use? Vegasdsmr: or recommend Suterboy: 16 should be just fine Vegasdsmr: coo Vegasdsmr: what if i wanna wire in a switch so i can turn em on or off
Suterboy: and then when you have done that hook the harness back to the connector that was on the fan that was working Vegasdsmr: so i splice into the workin fan harness wires, and run the new wires Vegasdsmr: to the harness that wasnt workin Suterboy: well i sorta wanted to do that but never got around to doing it or figuruing out how to do it Suterboy: yep.. Vegasdsmr: and chop the old connections off the not workin fan harness Vegasdsmr: so lemme run this by u Vegasdsmr: to see if i got it right Suterboy: but do use some electrical tape to protect the wires and harness that istn being used Vegasdsmr: workin fan =1 Vegasdsmr: non workin fan =2 Vegasdsmr: ok Vegasdsmr: splice into 1 wires at harness Vegasdsmr: then chop 2 wires off harness Vegasdsmr: and run new wires from 1->2 harness Vegasdsmr: and tape off old wires Vegasdsmr: from2 Vegasdsmr: ? Suterboy: yep Vegasdsmr: right on Vegasdsmr: grasshoppa Suterboy: thats pretty much how to do it
