After having my radiator fan bust up my radiator after breaking off its mount I am upgrading from a pulley fan to an electric fan while I replace my radiator and this was exactly what I needed to help make sure I had not missed anything when installing it. Amazing work, helping people out even a year later!
Thanks! I always wanted to be a teacher, but I think I can actually teach even more people from the comfort of my own home using TH-cam. Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly I appreciate your professionalism and clarity on explaining this 'HOW-TO!!" After watching this video, I have no idea how anyone can mess it up. THANK YOU🤘🤘

Hi Sir you have explained how everything is wired up & some guys use pin 86 as ground & pin 85 as power on the 12volt Relay & I tested the 12volt 100Amp waterproof Relay & I followed your wiring the same way as you have Sir pin 86 Pin as power & pin 85 as ground on the relay & it works really well indeed & I tested it with a led light bulb & later on I will get an 12Volt radiator electric cooling fan unit & has 2500CFM with a 90 watt electric fan motor & so should work really well to & the radiator electric cooling fan unit will be installed inside the radiator & will have straight fan blades as you get better air flow than curved electric fan blades & radiator electric cooling fans that are installed in front of the radiator don't get better cooling than a radiator electric cooling fans that are installed inside the radiator as the engine & engine components get by far better cooling when radiator electric cooling fan units are installed inside the radiator & I have seen on Utube some of the guys have installed the radiator electric cooling fan units have installed them in the front of the radiator & one particular Utube channel has installed a very big radiator electric cooling fan unit & has installed in the front of the radiator & because he couldn't install it inside the radiator as there was no room to install the electric fan unit & having unit probably could get cooling but the is a smaller radiator electric cooling fan unit installed at the front of the radiator & probably wouldn't get that much cooling as it would be installed inside the radiator & probably also didnt have the room to install the electric fan unit that I'm getting will be inside the radiator & the 14"inch fan should work really well to & having 2500CFM air flow should keep everything nice & cool for the Toyota 3.4V6 engine & doing away with the clutch fan unit Kind Regards Peter & have a Lovely Nice Christmas Day Sir
3 years ago my truck caught fire because of a pretty bad wiring work. I decided not to give up on her and worked hard to bring her back to life... and I succeeded mechanically speaking. However, I had been always scared of dealing with electricity and wires because nobody was patient enough to explain things to me like if I was a 5 yes old kid... that was until I found your channel. Thanks to you I was not only able to completely wire my rig - rock crawler - but I have now understood the reasons behind every connection... Honestly, I cannot find the proper words which can emphasize my deep appreciation and gratitude to you... Thank you for sharing your knowledge...
That is incredibly awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It totally made my day! I’m glad you and others are finding my videos helpful! Thank you so much for watching and hopefully my videos continue to help keep the cool projects going!
I was doing a random search on the electrical side of the cooling system and found your excellent presentation as I was about to give up. Needless to say, I've subscribed. Because you've not only clarified a suspicion I had, you've also taught me enough to go through the circuit in a logical way. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!
Fantastic video! Great diagram and thorough explanation of everything. I’ve watched 4-5 videos on the subject and was still lost. 1 play through of this and I’m confident in my new knowledge. Great job!
Hi Adam, I’ve just read yr question. I have just released video where I wire straight to a cigie. Have a look and let me know what you think. Cheers Out There Touring
I’ve struggled for years to understand electrical, and you finally made it all click. I feel like most other resources out there dump too much info at once on you and don’t explain the how very well.
Awesome demonstration! I am not watching to gain the knowledge for automotive reasons (although now I know), instead I am searching for a clever no-solder solution to the always on tiny 24v cooling fan for the hotend of my 3D Printer. Your simple explanation of how relay circuits work really helped in figuring out the different hardware, how they interact, & how to wire it WITH A BYPASS to boot! Thanks again! 😊
I agree with last comment. Been up till 6am searching for info on the override switch and here it is! WOW!Now I can sleep til 2PM get up CMA and go to work. Thanks! Great clear to the point video😃
Hi Jason, I’ve just read yr question. I have just released video where I wire straight to a cigie. Have a look and let me know what you think. Cheers Out There Touring
This was a much needed relay lesson I was never taught that I needed in my life. Thank you very much for your physical diagram of actual items display, made learning easy and fun.
Perfect! I wired mine up last night, minus the temp sensor. I added it along with my clutch fan. Since I have a temp sensor with a gauge, I will only activate the electric fan when it reaches 185 degrees. Other than that I will rely on my trusty, old faithful clutch fan! Thanks for such a detailed diagram!
Thank you sir. Very well explained, a clear presentation with great visual aids and with demonstration. This has helped me understand my cooling fan system that I am fault diagnosing on my Kawasaki ZZR 100 C.
Great video and circuit board explanation. I'm going to just wire mine to the battery. This way when I turn the car off, the fan can keep running and cool the engine block down.
Thanks, very educational 👍 My Civic 2006 has 2 temp sensors, 1 in the radiator & 1 in the thermostat housing. Going to try changing the rad sensor as the fans aren’t switching off.
Thanks for posting this!!! Really appreciate your professional demo board. Sure makes it easier to understand how all that wiring ect comes together. My 67 Mustang 460 big block has two push fans with relays and no manual toggle switch. It was overheating at the car show the other day. It was like 98 outside. I want to add manual toggle switch to turn it on before it get too hot. I run two relays, I assume on for each fan.? Wish me luck. Cheers from Motown.

Probably one of the best(not seen them all) descriptions and displays of how to wire up an after market fan. VERY well explained and demonstrated...Cheers..
Thank you, I appreciate you taking your time to teach those of us that dont have this knowledge of how to to this but want to. Really helped me understand the wiring. Much appreciated.
Relays fail if they are in harsh environments (hot/cold/wet), old, or if they are handling more electricity than what they are rated for. They also have a lifespan too, which is often listed with them online. A circuit breaker or fuse is necessary. People like circuit breakers for fans because they draw a lot of amperage when they start, and then don’t draw nearly as much when they are running. Sometimes fuses have a tough time managing that and you need to run a bigger fuse or a slow burning one.
Very informative video and I really appreciate the simplicity of it. Can you include the amperage of the fuses and wires you use and what effect a wrong amperage fuse, switch, or wire might have on these systems. All in all, you're doing great. ❤
Brilliant video! This is a MUST WATCH for anyone working with cars and motorbikes as well as ATV's and trucks. If it's a 12v system, YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO. Well done mate! I'll be showing this to my students.
I’m thinking of wiring my cooling fan to a switch in the dash because I have no idea where the problem is but after watching this I probably should just check all the wiring and the relay. Seems easy enough but if I need to wire it to the dash I’ll do it! Thanks!!!
It’s common for under hood relays and temperature sensors to go bad, so those would be a great place to start. Swap out the relay for a different one under the hood. Sometimes you can use a headlight relay or similar. Also the temp sensor is probably 1 wire, if you ground that wire with the key on, the fans typically kick on. Good luck!! I’m cheering for you!
Hi Michael I’ve just read yr question. I have just released video where I wire straight to a cigie. Have a look and let me know what you think. Cheers Out There Touring
Wow, I have to say that was very well organized and a great and very detailed demonstration of how the electrical fans can work for multiple different switches. Thanks for sharing!
i can see why this video has only 3 dislikes... it is so helpful and easy to understand the wirings. very impressive presentation. definitely teacher material! 👍🏼👍🏼
You’re the man for getting straight to the point with simple easy details!! The break downs amazing bro!! Everyone else needs to take notes when it comes to trying to “show how things are done” lol
My kit the brown wire and the black were in the wrong location, so the instructions were wrong.. with out this video i was at wits end!! Awesome work thanku very much!!!
Awesome Explanation!! Love it, just one thing if I may. When car is moving the fan will spin and generate Electricity and feed back to the manual switch and it might get hot, use a diode to stop the flow of electricity!
This is what I miss since I have moved abroad people with skills that know what they are on about. I won't say where I live but most of the electricians here can't even read a drawing they should watch your channel and learn I will do this myself after watching this cheers.
@@WiringRescue yes I will though I think I will do this myself as they don't solder and use heat shrink. They just twist wires together and use electrical tape because it cost too much or have no solder skills and some don't even know about heat shrink 😳
@@kanenstuff - wow! You may also want to check out the uninsulated crimp connections. I use them and they work well, especially covered in shrink wrap. Good luck with your project!
Really great video with clear example. My 88 Civic is having issues where my fans will not turn on. The car doesn’t overheat because I’m not setting in traffic and it’s a big radiator for the small 1.5L engine. I want to repair the circuit and also run a manual on/off switch.
I so enjoyed this video and so detailed. I love it. So I was thinking of wiring that same fan onto the bottom of my engine bay panel and wire it up to the turbo timer that when I shut down the car the timer will run the fan for a count down timer and then turn of allowing the engine bay to cool down. Yours thoughts would be appreciated.
That sounds like it would definitely work. Just make sure you use a relay, and control the relay with the turbo timer (going to pin 86). Also , you’ll need a good battery, because fans use a lot of electricity. Good luck with the project and thanks for watching!
That was a great explanation on how to wire the fan. A lot of videos that I've seen in the past, as soon as they get to the relay they lose it by not giving a good explanation of how it works
Thank you! I’m glad that you found it helpful! If you like this, you may enjoy some of my others too! The “hotrod race car drift car wiring” is my favorite! Here it is th-cam.com/video/Yz9kqxWkoHI/w-d-xo.html
THANKS THAT IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO, AS IT IS I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY FAN NOT ALLWAYS COMING ON, NOW I'LL KNOW HOW TO OVERIDE OR HOW TO DIAGNOSE PROPERLY. I DON'T TAKE MY CARS TO MECHANICS, BECAUSE THEY ALLWAYS STARTS BY REPLACING THE MOST EXPENSIVE PARTS, AND THEN FIND OUT THERE WAS A LOOSE WIRE ALL ALONG AFTER SPENDING YOUR YEAR'S SALARY. MY DAD WAS A MECHANIC AND TAUGHT ME TO START CHEAP AND WORK UP, IF YOU WANT TO FIX SOMETHING, NOT LIKE THE GARAGES NOW WHO WANTS TO REPLACE YOUR ENGINE WHEN YOU'VE GOT A MISS FIRE.
Thanks! I just bought a fan and a wiring kit (probably the exact same kit, from the look of it), it didn't come with instructions, your video confirms what I'd guessed - in particular, what the mysterious little tin box labelled 'Batt' and 'Aux' is (it's the circuit breaker) and where in circuit to put it.
This is a fantastic video. It is very clear, and well laid out. I have always had a mental block, when it comes to electrical systems. This REALLY helps.
Been looking for a how to make dual fans work off one switch and all I came up with was using the cars relay to power both fans. This is exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate the help!! I had no clue you could just buy a dang ole temp switch 🤦🏻♂️ Super thanks
Good stuff, just picked up a 55 Chevy. Can believe the wiring what a mess. It even had the blue fan wire as ground so it ran backwards when I used a hot wire to test.
Thanks for the explanation. I watched over a dozen other videos on youtube by so called DIY guys that said an extra relay was required for a manual over ride switch for the cooling fan. I was pretty sure it didn't need a 2nd relay; and it could be done with a trigger signal on the existing relay. Like how you grounded it out, thank you for confirming my suspicion on that 👍
Thank you Mr. Ratty muscle car. Your videos are so helpful. You've got to be tickled with yourself. I know I will be if I can successfully pull this off.
What would be done differently if I had two fans instead of one? I’m getting ready to install double fans in my car and was about to pay to have it done until I found this video. Great demonstration. I just subscribed because it was such a great video.
Generally two fans means two relays. You’d split the trigger wire coming off the sensor and send it to both relays. You’ll have two fuses (or circuit breakers), the switch wire would split and go to both relays. You may also want to check this video out on wire and fuse sizes. I think it’s really helpful if you’re somewhat new to wiring. th-cam.com/video/EhzN6UdnmPA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vE0-eEehmlKVw7m5
Thank You for your reply. I will wire the fans as you described. I appreciate the feedback. I checked out the video you posted in the comment. You have great, but more importantly, very helpful information. THANK YOU! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge to help us on our journey. Keep doing what you are doing!
There's lots of videos on YT on hooking up your electric fan, but this one has to be the best one yet. Very professional display, and excellent explanation! Great job! Will have to check out your other stuff too!
Thank you! If I might recommend a video for you to check out next, I’d recommend this one. th-cam.com/video/Yz9kqxWkoHI/w-d-xo.html It took me a long time to make and I’m quite proud of it! Thanks for watching and sharing the kind comment!
Hi Olys garage, I’ve just read yr question. I have just released video where I wire straight to a cigie. Have a look and let me know what you think. Cheers Out There Touring
Nice! Very good presentation, easy to understand with this logical explanation of the components and how they interact! This will help me as I wire my electric fan!
Just came across your channel and am so impressed! I’ve never seen such a thorough and easy to follow description and demonstration! Will be watching all your videos and subscribing!
Very well done and explained. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Only thing I do different is instead of ignition power to the relay, I give it power all the time even with the key off. What this does is allow the fan to run for about a minute after the engine is shut off and it really does a lot to cool down the engine bay. Just keeps everything from heat soaking after you get done driving. And then it shuts itself off like normal. If anyone wires it this way, just don't forget to flip your manual fan switch off, because obviously it will run on and kill your battery.
Thanks for the video. Great Job, I wathched your other videos on circuits. Question, how does the current temperature guage sending unit work with the fan circuit? It seems I can not use the same sending unit for both, because the temperature sending unit has a much larger range.
Thank you! You are totally correct. Typically one is a “temperature switch” (turns on and off for the fan), and the other is a “temperature sensor”, which is a resistor and used for the gauge. The one for the gauge is often 1 wire. The fan is often 2 wires.
Thank You for Watching my Electric Radiator Fan Wiring video!

Can you help me with a simple project idea
Where can I buy this box
i follow the diagram. but the 1 thing problem is coming cold the sensor not coming off the fan
if you have a 1 pin temp sensor how you wire it to your gauge on your dash board so you can see it on your dash with a 1 pin temp sensor?

2 questions. What would cause the relay to fail?
How critical is the circuit breaker?
Relays fail if they are in harsh environments (hot/cold/wet), old, or if they are handling more electricity than what they are rated for. They also have a lifespan too, which is often listed with them online.
A circuit breaker or fuse is necessary. People like circuit breakers for fans because they draw a lot of amperage when they start, and then don’t draw nearly as much when they are running. Sometimes fuses have a tough time managing that and you need to run a bigger fuse or a slow burning one.

Hi Michael
I’ve just read yr question. I have just released video where I wire straight to a cigie.
Have a look and let me know what you think.
Cheers

This is the best explanation of this on TH-cam. Laying out on the board like that was inspired! Thank you.
Wow, I have to say that was very well organized and a great and very detailed demonstration of how the electrical fans can work for multiple different switches. Thanks for sharing!
i can see why this video has only 3 dislikes... it is so helpful and easy to understand the wirings. very impressive presentation. definitely teacher material! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch AND leaving such a nice comment!
You’re the man for getting straight to the point with simple easy details!! The break downs amazing bro!! Everyone else needs to take notes when it comes to trying to “show how things are done” lol
Thank you much. I’ve got lots more videos if you’re bored! Tell your friends!
Thank you sir. Great simplified demonstration!
My kit the brown wire and the black were in the wrong location, so the instructions were wrong.. with out this video i was at wits end!! Awesome work thanku very much!!!
Excellent! I’m glad that you figured it out! Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!
A picture tells a thousand words..Great idea, thanks...UK
Awesome Explanation!! Love it, just one thing if I may. When car is moving the fan will spin and generate Electricity and feed back to the manual switch and it might get hot, use a diode to stop the flow of electricity!
This is what I miss since I have moved abroad people with skills that know what they are on about. I won't say where I live but most of the electricians here can't even read a drawing they should watch your channel and learn I will do this myself after watching this cheers.
Thank you! I’m glad that you find the video & the channel helpful! Tell the electricians in the area to watch my channel too ;)
@@WiringRescue yes I will though I think I will do this myself as they don't solder and use heat shrink. They just twist wires together and use electrical tape because it cost too much or have no solder skills and some don't even know about heat shrink 😳
@@kanenstuff - wow! You may also want to check out the uninsulated crimp connections. I use them and they work well, especially covered in shrink wrap. Good luck with your project!
@@WiringRescue thanks I will check that out as I am restoring a BMW E36 325i here and most of it is doing the dodgy wiring.
Very insightful video. He explained everything where average people can understand!
That was exactly what I was hoping to do! Thanks for watching! If you’re bored I’ve got lots more too!
Really great video with clear example. My 88 Civic is having issues where my fans will not turn on. The car doesn’t overheat because I’m not setting in traffic and it’s a big radiator for the small 1.5L engine. I want to repair the circuit and also run a manual on/off switch.
I so enjoyed this video and so detailed. I love it. So I was thinking of wiring that same fan onto the bottom of my engine bay panel and wire it up to the turbo timer that when I shut down the car the timer will run the fan for a count down timer and then turn of allowing the engine bay to cool down. Yours thoughts would be appreciated.
That sounds like it would definitely work. Just make sure you use a relay, and control the relay with the turbo timer (going to pin 86). Also , you’ll need a good battery, because fans use a lot of electricity. Good luck with the project and thanks for watching!
@@WiringRescue thanks for the tip. What about wiring the same fan for 110v AC current? Is that possible? If so how?
OUTSTANDING, CLEAR & TO THE POINT. GREAT A thru Z😊
You are now amongst my very few notifications.
Thanks, JS
Awesome! I’m humbled to know that people like the content that I make :) thank YOU for watching!
That was a great explanation on how to wire the fan. A lot of videos that I've seen in the past, as soon as they get to the relay they lose it by not giving a good explanation of how it works
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve got lots more of you find yourself in the mood for more wiring videos!
I have watched countless videos on this subject and yours is the only one the makes since thank you
Thank you! I’m glad that you found it helpful! If you like this, you may enjoy some of my others too! The “hotrod race car drift car wiring” is my favorite! Here it is th-cam.com/video/Yz9kqxWkoHI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for such a detailed how to! Just getting ready to go convert my Allis Chalmers forklift now.
That’s awesome! I’m glad that you found the video helpful!
THANKS THAT IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO, AS IT IS I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY FAN NOT ALLWAYS COMING ON, NOW I'LL KNOW HOW TO OVERIDE OR HOW TO DIAGNOSE PROPERLY. I DON'T TAKE MY CARS TO MECHANICS, BECAUSE THEY ALLWAYS STARTS BY REPLACING THE MOST EXPENSIVE PARTS, AND THEN FIND OUT THERE WAS A LOOSE WIRE ALL ALONG AFTER SPENDING YOUR YEAR'S SALARY. MY DAD WAS A MECHANIC AND TAUGHT ME TO START CHEAP AND WORK UP, IF YOU WANT TO FIX SOMETHING, NOT LIKE THE GARAGES NOW WHO WANTS TO REPLACE YOUR ENGINE WHEN YOU'VE GOT A MISS FIRE.
Thanks! I just bought a fan and a wiring kit (probably the exact same kit, from the look of it), it didn't come with instructions, your video confirms what I'd guessed - in particular, what the mysterious little tin box labelled 'Batt' and 'Aux' is (it's the circuit breaker) and where in circuit to put it.
This is a fantastic video.
It is very clear, and well laid out.
I have always had a mental block, when it comes to electrical systems.
This REALLY helps.
Been looking for a how to make dual fans work off one switch and all I came up with was using the cars relay to power both fans.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate the help!! I had no clue you could just buy a dang ole temp switch 🤦🏻♂️
Super thanks
Good stuff, just picked up a 55 Chevy. Can believe the wiring what a mess. It even had the blue fan wire as ground so it ran backwards when I used a hot wire to test.
Thanks for the explanation.
I watched over a dozen other videos on youtube by so called DIY guys that said an extra relay was required for a manual over ride switch for the cooling fan.
I was pretty sure it didn't need a 2nd relay; and it could be done with a trigger signal on the existing relay. Like how you grounded it out, thank you for confirming my suspicion on that 👍
I'm subscribing to this channel ✌
Awesome! Thanks for watching and subscribing! I’m glad the videos helped you out!
Brilliantly simply explanation, thank you
Thank you! I’m happy that you found it helpful! Check out my other wiring videos too if you’re bored! :D
Thank you Mr. Ratty muscle car. Your videos are so helpful. You've got to be tickled with yourself. I know I will be if I can successfully pull this off.
Couldn't have explained it any better.... Thumbs and toes up!!!
Thanks! I’m glad that you enjoyed it! It was fun to make too!
What would be done differently if I had two fans instead of one?
I’m getting ready to install double fans in my car and was about to pay to have it done until I found this video.
Great demonstration. I just subscribed because it was such a great video.
Generally two fans means two relays. You’d split the trigger wire coming off the sensor and send it to both relays. You’ll have two fuses (or circuit breakers), the switch wire would split and go to both relays. You may also want to check this video out on wire and fuse sizes. I think it’s really helpful if you’re somewhat new to wiring. th-cam.com/video/EhzN6UdnmPA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vE0-eEehmlKVw7m5
Thank You for your reply. I will wire the fans as you described. I appreciate the feedback.
I checked out the video you posted in the comment. You have great, but more importantly, very helpful information.
THANK YOU! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge to help us on our journey.
Keep doing what you are doing!
@@JamesPoitras-f2cyour welcome and good luck with your project!
Outstanding way to simplify , this relays installation , on cars Thanks , instructor 💯
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it!
This is the best explanation video I have seen. Thank you for dumbing it down for me.
That’s a very kind thing to say! Thank you! I really appreciate it. If you like this one, you may enjoy some of my others as well!
From today u remain my teacher....love this
Im happy that I can be a small part of the education system! Thanks for watching!
thanks for teaching me the proper way to add a manual switch! 🙏🏼
You’re welcome! I’m glad that you liked the video!
Thanks this better than all video in TH-cam
Wow best demonstration of the circuit ive ever seen..... Just what i needed to wire up things correctly.... thanks man 🎉
Thank you I will be using this method this weekend, I needed a breakdown how to install it!!
Awesome! I’m glad the video was able to help you out!
thanks for the concise demonstration and explanation. I wish more videos were like this.
You would be a great teacher at a tech school for wiring!
Thanks! Teaching is definitely something I truly enjoy. Luckily, TH-cam is a huge audience! Thanks for watching and saying the kind words!
Way to go,
I didn't know till now, you made it simple and clear to me,
God bless you bro.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
There's lots of videos on YT on hooking up your electric fan, but this one has to be the best one yet. Very professional display, and excellent explanation! Great job! Will have to check out your other stuff too!
Thank you! If I might recommend a video for you to check out next, I’d recommend this one. th-cam.com/video/Yz9kqxWkoHI/w-d-xo.html It took me a long time to make and I’m quite proud of it! Thanks for watching and sharing the kind comment!
Hi Olys garage,

Great explanation! I stumbled on this while looking at circuit breakers, since I've never used them before. The override is a great idea.
Thanks! I appreciate you watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
@@WiringRescue for sure, bud! Wiring is one of my weakest skills.
Excellent videos, I've watched most of them and find them most informative. Thank you very much for your time . I had to subscribe.
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching!
Clear and concise! Subscribed. Putting a switched fan on my 68 El Camino today.
Awesome! Gosh I love El Caminos. I’m thrilled that this video helped one in a very small way!
Nice! Very good presentation, easy to understand with this logical explanation of the components and how they interact! This will help me as I wire my electric fan!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and I’m glad you found it helpful!
Just came across your channel and am so impressed! I’ve never seen such a thorough and easy to follow description and demonstration! Will be watching all your videos and subscribing!
Excellent! I’m glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching !
It's so helpful..i Was just planning to install it on an old jeep. Thank you for this beautiful video...
You’re welcome! I’m glad that you found the video helpful!
Very well done and explained. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Only thing I do different is instead of ignition power to the relay, I give it power all the time even with the key off. What this does is allow the fan to run for about a minute after the engine is shut off and it really does a lot to cool down the engine bay. Just keeps everything from heat soaking after you get done driving. And then it shuts itself off like normal. If anyone wires it this way, just don't forget to flip your manual fan switch off, because obviously it will run on and kill your battery.
wow! thats super clear! The perfect info for creating a safe and proper fan circuit
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it! Feel free to share it with a friend, and check out my other wiring videos if you’re bored.
Thanks for the video. Great Job, I wathched your other videos on circuits. Question, how does the current temperature guage sending unit work with the fan circuit? It seems I can not use the same sending unit for both, because the temperature sending unit has a much larger range.
Thank you! You are totally correct. Typically one is a “temperature switch” (turns on and off for the fan), and the other is a “temperature sensor”, which is a resistor and used for the gauge. The one for the gauge is often 1 wire. The fan is often 2 wires.
This is going to help me diagnose my issues. I'm going to install my own clips as the Honda ones are broken and brittle.
Excellent! Glad it helped you out!
I sure enjoy the way layout your displays and explain everything with great detail. 👌👏👏
I was watching this video on the computer at work and i searched this video on my phone to give you a like and comment!
That’s awesome! Thank you so much!
