i know this has been covered so many times on here and ive spent hours reading. each post on this topic and maybe think im overthinking this but first off im a tad electrically challenged. ok i am about to put a lincoln mark vii fan on my camaro and am a little confused on what all i need to go along with it. i know i need to use a kit with relays but i work at napa and am trying toavaiod paying for an electric fan kit . can some one put it in simple terms for dummies like me on what relay kit i need and do i hook this up on a key switch or a thermostat switch. any help with me appreciated.. links pictures anything.. i will be doin this myself and im not the greatest at electrical work so i want to be sure

Sorry, not familiar with the Mark VII fan, but if it is a standard 2 fan setup with power and ground, then below is a fairly simple way to wire the fans. This circuit will turn on the fans when the engine gets hot, but only when the key is on (Acc). I also included 20 Amp breakers (could also be fuses).



If you have Air Conditioning, or want more control over the fan, you can use the circuit below. This is similar to what I have done on my car. The switch at the top will allow you to control if the fan will stay running after the engine is turned off and the switch at the bottom will allow you to turn the fan on manually.



If you want to control the fans individually, that would require additional changes to the circuit (and a couple of diodes). You don't need a controller, but they do offer the ability to set the temp when the fans come on and some allow you to have the fans run for a specific amount of time after the key is off.

Hope this helps.....
