My fan keeps the lt1 at 185 max temp. This fan also has to pull the air through the tranny cooler and it keeps the trans temps around 185-200 max.

I will see if I can sketch you a diagram of how we have them wired.

I also do not have any trouble with the charging system. everything works great. just like it is suppose to.

All I can say is to find out what year and model Taurus your fan is coming out of. Some of them switch high and low speed outside the fan and others do it internally. If you get me that information, I can tell you which set up you have got. I can at least figure out which wire to hook up to get the high speed side of the fan.

And, beforer the Hals say anything, I will NOT USE ALLDATA to find my information.

and if you decide to do my idea i can draw you an idiot proof picture or come help you do it

I found a 75 amp 4 pin Tyco relay from here:
http://www.keefeperformance.com/kprelay.html

Which looks like what I will do and use my pcm to control it. Hopefully I'll be able to find a fan in the yard. Sound like a good plan?

All you have to do is search on www.s10forums.com or www.v8s10.com and the years are mentioned that you want to use. Hell they even have pretty pictures and mspaint drawings to go by. much faster than

alldata.

FMCDealer.com, dick.

Just to help with the wire colors on the fan, itself; since it varies from year to year. Gotta love Ford engineers.

which is also also posted on the forementioned sites with the instructions on how to hook up in a nonford product..

clubracergt1 · 06-12-2009, 12:46 PM

I didn't know that. I haven't looked

LXtasy · 06-12-2009, 01:53 PM

we have because that is a most used electric fan, even in the fox mustang community. mustang boards are loaded with it also. intrepid fans and now hhr fans are becoming popular. i am going ls1 fans on the wifes truck and maybe hhr on the blazer, either one as well.

I agree. I am unable to copy and paste links during the day when I am posting from my phone.

I wired one up about 6 years ago in a 57 Vette LS1 that used three 30A relays to activate both speeds under different conditions. The low speed was used for the AC and once the engine temp got high it would override the low fan and turn on the high fan. The engine temp always took priority. The third relay was used as a switching relay. Still working in Texas to this day.

This was back before I had PCM access so we made it work using external sensor switches. I would use the PCM control these days, of course.

On a side note...Hal, we need to get your fan running off the PCM my friend.

I agree. I guess we will add that to our "when we have free time" list...

We have a few milestones to hit at the track first and then its HCI time. maybe when we are down during that timeframe we can see if its possible. Remember my harness is custom made. I might have to put you in touch with the harness designer in florida.

98Camarod · 06-27-2009, 10:05 AM

Alright, I finally have time this weekend to wire it up. I have it installed and it fits, just have to wire it up. I bought the 75 amp diode 4 pin relay from: http://www.keefeperformance.com/kprelay.html

What gets wired to what? There are two larger pins and two small ones. I'm assuming the larger ones need a larger gauge wire. Now I can't find which pin controls the fan in the pcm either, so if someone knows what that is for the 98 that would be helpful.

I suck at electrical shit. I can do it, just need to know what goes where

blkscls1z · 06-27-2009, 11:17 AM

Rodney,

The Cooling Fan pin #'s are 43 (Red Connector) and 28 (Blue Connector).

Here is a list of all the pinouts for the 98 PCM.

98Camarod · 06-27-2009, 11:33 AM

^^Thanks, any idea on the wiring?

98Camarod · 06-27-2009, 11:55 AM

30 is constant power 8awg
87 goes to power the fan 8awg
86 is for fan control 16-18awg
85 is ground 16-18awg

and then use 8awg for ground straight from the fan.
What size inline fuse?

How does that sound?
