there's your answer right there.. take that bitch out!. My car did the same thing, pulled that out and works fine. Give it a shot.johnnydeebee said:95 GT Had the recall done & circuit breaker installed. Fan still shuts down and engine overheating now...Any other ideas out there...
Not at the moment but once I get em I'll start a new thread with the process and the results.94SC50 said:Got pics?
squall9393 said:My fan just died so I installed a Flex-a-Lite. Not much work, just a little ingenuity. Haven't figured out how to wire it into the ignition to get it to turn off when the car shuts off yet though. Geez, this baby is spinning well. Fan spins so fast that when I shut the car off people still think the engine is running. I give the fan 2 thumbs up.
Good idea. I never installed a cut off switch though. The fan has only drained the battery once after turning the engine off, but it was really freakin hot and I had been running it in traffic with the A/C going before then so obviously it took it a while to cool the engine down to where the fan would shut off. Thanks for the idea. I orginally put it where the old fan fuse was in engine fuse box but that was on constant power instead of switched.Green_Meanie said:Mine is hooked into a 30 amp fuse in the passenger compartment fuse box. If I forget to turn off the switch, the ignition kills it when shut off.
yeah, but it's complicated as hell. the directions need to be done over and simpler94SC50 said:Just tap into the #17 pin and ground it to a toggle switch and run high speed manually. The directions are in the FAQ.
if the fan is dead when the recall work is done, they will replace the fan at the same time. the recall specifically says that and that is what happened for me since the fan was dead when i brought it in. here is the recall:jasonlee0704 said:The recall work (which I had done myself, too) does not fix the fan.
What it does is shut the fan off when it malfunctions, to prevent an engine fire.
You're still left with a non-working fan (great job, Ford!) - I'd get it replaced, instead of just bypassing the circuit breaker.
