Guest zfan Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 I AM RE-INSTALLING AN ELECTRIC FAN AND WAS WANTING SOME IMPUT RE: OPERATING. IM THINKING OD DIRECTLY HOOKING UP POWER TO THE REMOTE SELENOID IVE INSTALLED RATHER THAN THE FUSE BOX. I WILL NOT BE RUNNING THE THERMOSTAT FOR FAN AS I HAVE HEARD BAD STORIES AKA FAILURES ETC.. JUST THE OLD HAND TO TOGGLE METHOD. ANY IMPUT PRO OR CON WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE! Z/FAN..MIKE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 Mike, Why not do both? You can always rely on a thermostat for control and wire a switch in that will allow you to turn the fan on manually any time you want. I know that is what I would do but, as always, its your car/your call Painless wiring makes a very nice kit that used a temperature sensor with 3/8NPT fitting that will screw into a properly sized port in the manifold. I used it on my L6 (<a href="http://www.ideal-z.com/howto/faninstall.htm">See it here</a> )and haven't had a bit of trouble. A good friend of mine is running the same setup and has had no problems; it is his daily. Just my experiences. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 I agree with IDEALZ... I have a Hayden adjustable temp relay that I use and I'm also gonna wire in one of my spare toggles to cover a failure. I'm also using a 16 inch AllStar electric fan that seems to pull enough CFMs... We'll see how next summer treats me! Mike ------------------ "I will not be a spectator in the sport of life!" mjk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
