Thank God another crazy dinner like myself using all the same wires!!!! Aaahhhh the madness I love it!!! BTW, nice bid really did help me a ton!!! Simple plain language. Well done sir!!!
Nice work ..Im not sure if this is bad for my toyota camry but i found by using an old cooling fan relay that was not working as it should that if you stick a plastic wedge between the two contact points that fan will kick on every time you turn on key and stop when turn off key..you do need to remove plastic cover to get to contact points.. anyway like i said not sure if bad idea or not.
Need to do this on a 2000 Cav that the signal from the ECU is not making it to the relay but the fan works by jumping 30 to 87. Im curious hiw this has held up for you? Do you wish you used a different guage or has this worked well. Thanks for any feedback! Awesome clear to understand video.
Now with your bypass here will radiator fans run as normally if you had not bypassed it? Or will this make the radiator fans run continuous / constantly as long as the vehicle has been started the fans run or only when vehicle is hot to which the fans kick in as normal like all vehicle fans are supposed to do ?
Just one stupid question. Why bother using the relay. You can wire the red one to the switch the other side of the switch go to blue wire so when you turn on the switch the fan will run
Splice connectors are a bad idea! Could have stripped back a bit of wire wrapped your new wiring arround it, soldered it together then cover with liquid electrical tape....Anywho, I have a 07 pontiac G5 2.2 ecotec I have seen Temps of 212 & the fan has never come on...I found out that there is 3 relay sockets, the control socket does not have a relay in it but the socket has wiring.. then, there is cool fan 1 & cool fan 2...when I ground the top left pin of the control socket, the fan comes on but, I cannot access Hi-speed fan, just 1 speed which ever speed that is but, I have to watch my temperature constantly. I wish it ran on its own???? My a/c line is disconnected & I am wondering if the trinity or trianary switch is what is causing my issue? Or, if there is a way of rigging the trinary switch to control the fan? I do know by grounding a pin (top left pin of the control socket) the fan comes on) so, I ran a toggle from that pin...no power wires, no relays, I use the factory system with one ground wire but, it's manually controlled & YES, I HAVE LEFT IT ON & RAN MY BATTERY DEAD. I wish it was temperature controlled?

What do you mean?
Awesome video since these cars tend to run hot since I don’t think the ECU is programmed to kick in fans until 205 or 210 F.
Thank you!

Bypass switch is still working fine. I wish I had used a different color wire, but the gauge has not been a problem. Good luck with your car!
Pls what about 2012 Chevy Cruze, the fan delays to start when the AC is turn on
Will this bypass work if the fans are running constantly?
you can run a wire to the heater blower and turn your heater fan on high and it will make the fan work on rafiator.
Just hot wire?
Details please
great idea...my heater was removed..
did same job on my 94 mercury my relays get hot burn out replaced fan motor same issue

The fans should run normally when the engine reaches the normal temperature. I can also control the fan manually with the switch.
Good video ,can this be done on any car ?
Is there anyway i could do this and just re use the cooling fan relay in the plastic box or?
I recommend a separate relay.
How did the repair hold up? I'm concerned about using 18g wire on a 15-20 amp fan. Did the wires heat up??
It's working just fine.
You have a vocational school video commentator voice robotlike 😃
Just one stupid question. Why bother using the relay. You can wire the red one to the switch the other side of the switch go to blue wire so when you turn on the switch the fan will run
How do you do this on a 2004 chevu classic 2.2l
So its okay to keep the fan running continuously while you drive ?
The switch allows you to turn the fan on if you start to see the engine temperature get above normal. I wouldn't leave the fan on continuously.
will drain battery
thanks
Where can I purchase this relay kit? Im in need of replacing mine
It's not a kit, I had to purchase the pieces separately
as for crimping wires your asking for fuses to blow ,alwasys salder
Very useful, I’m going to do it thank you
What is the point of using the relay if you want to manually kick the fan ?!?
lower the tension and current.what kicks your fan is the relay so you need to actuate just over the realy
can you just use the thermo switch? when you turn it on you the fan will spin and when you turn it off, it will return to automatic mode.
That is how the fan works normally. This video is for if you want to be able to control the fan manually with a switch.
Do you live in Arizona?
Yes. A little more control over cooling is good to have on those hot summer days!

G5 is a different platform from this car. Wish you good luck with your project!
