I just put in the flex-a-lite 175 fan. I'm pretty much electrically inept but figure gotta learn sometime. It was pretty straight forward and I hooked everything up per instructions: 12v to battery + with inline fuse provided, ground to battery (-), 12v constant to coolant sensor red for ignition activation, a/c spliced in. Temp probe in radiator by upper hose. Ran car up to temp, adjusted temp control until fan kicked on to set.
Everything worked at home. Took a drive to the store (110 here at least in AZ today), a little freeway, got to store rolling around to find parking spot it starts to get hot and I here a loud short buzz sound, and a second shortly after. The a/c got warm so I quick parked. Had my wife come and get me to go get the original fan and fan clutch so I can get back home. Ran super cool and a/c worked fine on the way home.
I did mount it upside down but wouldn't think that would have anything to do with it. What could be wrong. I was so proud I got it to work only to be shot down. Do I need a relay still even though the directions never mentioned? Did the probe get too hot and shut down the controller box? Any help would be great. It's my daily drive so can't be down. Much appreciated.
