Controls For Electric Fans Hot Rod Network I made this video to show how i wired up my electric fan with a thermostat switch on the intake manifold, its pretty detailed if you want to know anything el. Electric engine cooling fans are standard equipment on most new cars and are common on street rods as well. new cars also have shrouds to make those fans more efficient, and most street rods.
Hot Rods Electric Fan Wiring Question The H A M B Spal is a great brand. mount it to a shroud in a puller fashion. doesn't need to be very deep, 1 2 inch or so from the core is fine. don't use the cheap plastic zip tie mounting deals. you can bury an electric fan in a deep shroud (stock style) and make it disappear fairly effectively. Adjusting the temperature. adjustment range is 32°f to 240°f higher turn on temperature: turn the adjuster clockwise. lower turn on temperature: turn the adjuster counter clockwise. adjust the thermostat to desired setting by turning the brass adjuster with a flathead screwdriver. note: knob not included. The simplest method of wiring an electric fan is to use a relay that is switched on and off by the ignition switch. this method works well to cool the vehicle but the drawback is the fan will be running constantly when the ignition is on. fan noise and added electrical system load will be present at all times. Depending on the model, the thermostat (sending unit) triggers the fan on at 185°f. and off at 165°f. or on at 195°f. and off at 175°f. a toggle switch can be wired into the system to manually override the cycling of the fan. pre wired connector plugs into fan connector and the red wire is routed to the relay via an inline crimp connector.

You run the positive battery (starter) to the positive fan wire. you run the fans negative wire to the red wire with the inline fuse going to the controller. your run the yellow wire to key on power. you run the black to a ground. you thread the supplied sensor into a coolant port before plugging it into the controller.
