      Taurus fan wiring

      I pulled a Taurus fan from a local pick-n-pull a year ago, but just now getting to the install. I purchased a Flex-a-lite electric fan temperature controller:
      http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku
      ...and a Bosch 30amp relay.
      I was told that the low setting is sufficient enough for cooling.

      I'm not electrical savvy. Can someone assist me on how to wire this up? And just incase this info is necessary, I have a 110 amp alternator.

      Tx.,

      I would caution against using a Flex-a-Lite controller....there are better controllers out there with better features. I was told on the phone by Flex-a-Lite that their controller is a new design and that it uses a pwm type circuitry...but then, they told me it has been on the market for about 6 years now. I think they are trying to mislead. Check over at the F-150 Lightning site and do a search on this controller-there's a thread about somebody who's controller melted from the heat and very nearly caught the truck on fire. Bad Flex-a-Lite, bad.

      Here is my schematic on how to run the taurus fan as a two speed. works flawless.

      Nothing says "I built this" better than tool marks and dykem blue..

      This schematic would be for 1 speed operation. I would highly recommend the relay so the controller sees nearly no load AKA no smokey burny smells in your car.

      No smokey burny smells of your arm being burnt and scarred from an extremely hot metal manual fan switch..... Lowbuckx, wish you would have posted that last week. I could have used it! lol I just had to think through it carefully with the little knowledge of residential wiring that I have.... that made it fun.
