Like I was sayin, difficult and expensive just to have an electric fan. And not sure how the guy cut his fingers off, but im sure a mechanical fan will do the same, especially with metal fins.
But aside from that, here is a idea for you all. all you need is two 70amp relays ( you can get them from napa for an audi headlight relay I think they are 90amp).

and one two way 30 amp relay(one that sends power to one side not energized and when energized switches power to the other)

i will try to make a diagram(
@= fan
^= power flow
|= connection/wire
⚡= battery
➕= relay trigger
⚓= ground/negative
♻️= alternator post(On) (*NOT*BIG WIRE SiDE)
||= 8 awg wire

````` ``➕@Lo===⚓===@HI➕
````````||``````````````` `||
```off```^````````````````^````off
```➖\ _70A_/➕``````➕\ _70A_/➖
````/```||```\``````````/``||```\
```⚓``⚡```^````````^``⚡```⚓
`````````````\```````/
`````````````^``````^
```````````➖\ _2Way_/➕
`````````````/ ``\^/`` \
```````````⚓```♻️```(clutch@)or(Alt@)switch


Just make sure you use 10 gauge or even 8awg wire
from ⚡ to 70amp relay to @ also ⚓to @.

That will do everything that a special controller will do for a 2; speed fan and save you a few hundred bucks and you can always replace a relay from any autoparts store and you still can jump it to run one relay if you need to. That way your vehicle wont over heat untill you replace it and you dont have to wait to order a whole new controller if it goes out, especially if your out on vacation somewhere
Hope that helps somebody someday.

oh this will work on any car/truck/jeep as I had done this to my XJ and my F150. Definitely pays for itself in the mpg on the gas it saves. pretty quickly. especially only getting 15 to 18 or 19 mpg . That 3mpg every 5 gal=15mpg@1gal $5 saved
So every 20gal fill up is $20 you didn't have to spend on gas sooner. That after 10 or so fillups its only saving/ making you money(as its money you get to keep when you would have had to spend it regardless) plus gain a few ponies as well
