Wiring these electric fans is confusing..

[James V]

Correct.

It's shown on the drawing: Red/Light Green
It's near the starter relay.

Thanks. I feel like I have seen this wire, I'll have to check.

 

[James V]

Prob one of the wires that you want to check in the connector end, and touch the other end to chassis ground (or battery neg) and see if there's power with key on.


I can probably dig out the color wire if I remember to check my wiring diagrams later tonight. I also tend to prefer to solder my connections. Those blue clip on connectors are notorious for making bad connections or loosening up.

EDIT: red with yellow stripe

One other question. While taking the old relay (or what I thought was a relay) out. I just noticed where the red wire connects to. What is that for and can I get rid of that red wire? The red wire with the yellow connector.

Thanks for the help. Since I dont have any way to solder the wires, I've been using the weatherproof connectors and heat sealing them.

Have you ever seen these?

Also have a question for you. I am removing what I thought was a relay for the previous fans I took out. And I noticed this red wire attached to another piece. What is the red wire for and what is it connected to, will I have to hook it up again?

You can get the solder sleeves on eBay direct from China.
See p12 (or pdf p.16)
It's a circuit breaker shown in the upper left.
Don't know what the red wire is for, you'll have to find what it feeds.

These were discussed a while back, seems the solder was inadequate or something, didn't have the penetration it should have. Seems like a good idea but?

That's a pretty handy instruction manual, now I just have to figure out how to read it lol. So the thing with the red wire and yellow connector and the red wire and blue connector hooked up to it is a circuit breaker? Can I remove it all?

The red wire was attached to the box that was attached to the fender. It had all the wires for the old fans on it. Dont know if I'm describing it well

 

[Blown88GT]

If you can't read the schematic drawing, don't remove anything.

 

[James V]

If you can't read the schematic drawing, don't remove anything.

That's good advice lol
Heres a better pic if it helps. The black, purple, and yellow wire were all from the old electric fans I took out so I snipped them. The only one remaining is the red.

Hi again. Working on my 93 notch. I bought the electric SVE fan kit from LMR and I got everything in and now I just have to wire the fans. I cant seem to find the yellow AC wire and the green wire they are referring to in the video

The previous owner had Ebay electric fans in, that I removed. I thought this yellow wire was the AC wire but then I realized it looks like he spliced it to this blue connector which leads to this connection in the picture below. I'm sort of lost. Any help would be appreciated!

6:09 - the yellow to green wire, I cant find the green

I bought the wiring kit but I'm using Contour fans. When I watched the video I understood that the references to the colored wires were wires on the controller.

Remove the bottom red wire from post on the little relay

Thread hijack real quick.. My fans are on 40a relays ignition on. I want to put them on a toggle switch. How do i wire that in? Ill research it later if no one knows off top. I assume its extremely simple.

 

[KRUISR]

Run power to your toggle switch. Line out of toggle switch will go to trigger side of the relay(s). This will allow your automatic controller to do its thing and allow you to override and trigger manually.

I used this type of switch...



Third wire is for a ground to light when power engaged. Nice part of wiring this way is light on toggle will come on when auto controller triggers fans and you will know they have been turned on,

My black magic fan is 14 years old,flows like 3,300 cfm cools in 110 degree heat,traffic and all.
