I bought a '95 Ford Windstar dual electric fan set up in the local wrecking yard. With the exception on blowing one fuse and getting up to 212°F, I have not seen it above 187°F on the street in 95°F. I reached 202°F racing at the Grove at the T-N-T, but it came right back down.
I also upgraded to a 94 amp alternator. I run separate wires to each fan and each one has a separate 30 amp relay and 30 amp inline fuse. Use 10 ga. wire with a 30 amp circuit. I have a 170°F thermal fan switch that I got in a kit from Summit. The fan switch has 1/2" NPT threads and screws right into the head. I don't like the type of sensors that sense the air temperature at the radiator. I want to know what the water temperature in the motor is.
Vance, I ran the hot leads directly from the battery to the relay, is this bad?
