Any one know which wire on the contour fans is the high speed? also do you have to use the resistor on the lower left corner to run the fans in low speed?
i am pretty confused on how to properly wire the fans i will be using a relay setup not a controller.the relay setup has 2 80 amp relays and a 40 amp crossover relay with a 60 amp fuse. thanks for any help

I used a dual setup from a Focus...I think it is pretty similar to the Contour fan. The Focus fan doesn't have a high and low...I don't think the Contour does either. Just make sure you have the polarity in the right direction to make it pull air.

im pretty sure it is 2 speed. did you connect the fan motor wires together or is one of them a ground?

The Contour may be 2 speed, I'm not certain. My Focus only has two wires for each fan...a positive and a negative. They are wired seperately.

the fan is one speed, i just did mine last week. i used the flex a lite v.s controller and is working great. hook the wire to battery and make sure its going the correct way. alot of guys use one fan as the 1st stage and 2nd as the other speed. i would hook them together.
