anyone know the color wires on the harnesses for the fans to wire them so that they both turn on at the same time? don't want them on all the time, just when the cooling fan turns on i want the A/C fan to turn on at the same time. would this make the A/C compressor turn on though? A/C takes so much power. if i had a multimeter this would be easy.

this was a discussion i had a while back w/a fellow 2gntR...

2 fan mod

Suterboy: ok.. on page 3-33 (in chilton's)
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

i farted on your wiki

Basically it's easy
From the driver side fan you run 4 wires to the passenger side fan
connect them color from color they are the same colors on both harness (at least they are on my Avenger)

I did this mod 2 years ago
It has nothing to do with the A/C compressor BTW
