Hey all
So I use my car as a daily driver right now so I was going to direct wire my rad fan directly to the ignition so the fan atleast runs to keep the car while I take the time to trace the problem with the stock wiring, so this is going to be a temporary fix for a max of a month!
But I used this wiring scheme but for the rad fan instead of ic!
Here are my issues: 1. I wired it all up using a 40A relay and a 30A fuse and when I turned on the car the fan first started going to very quickly stopped working AGAIN. Will this diagram work for wiring the rad fan directly? Could I have blown the 40A relay since the rad fan is much larger? Can I use it but just need a much larger relay? If so, how much bigger?
2. When looking at the rad fan it has 3 electric posts, I have read in past posts that one is ground and then the other two are low speed and high speed. I didn't know this until last night after I have tried this wiring setup. So the could I have blown the rad fan motor if I accidentally wired it the high speed and low speed up with no ground? I wired my power wire to the bottom post and the ground to the top post leaving the one in the middle not connected at all. Did I screw it up? Does anyone know what each post on the rad fan is? Did I blow the fan motor doing this?
3. Last, this morning I woke up and went to fire up the car and click click, battery dead. Now after a defeated effort of not figuring out the rad fan last night I just left the whole thing still wired up, not thinking straight and not knowing what I broke (either relay or motor or ?) I left teh wiring all hooked up as the diagram above. Was this a bad idea? Should I have disconnected everything? I assume it was still drawing power and drained the battery, but where was it drawing power from?
Thank you for your time and help guys! Please help...im thinking about just using this rad fan in a discus competition!
