Electric fan conversion

[dirtautoguy]

i think that's what I'll do and then wire the second fan to the high option so it comes on 10 degrees warmer than the original turn on since that's how the kit I have works.

I also have a ac by pass circuit, but since my ac is cycling on and off all the time I don't know if I'll use it. I think my ac is low on refrigerant.

I am sold on the Windstar efan conversion. Thanks to Skylark for turning me on to them.

You bet! They worked great in the Denali. Can you control the fans with the EBL?

Here is my install of an e-fan setup. I posted it on fullsizehevy.com

I'm very happy with it. I have since done a few little odds and ends. The biggest thing is I plan on adding a second sensor so my fans come on at two different temps. now they both come on at the same time.

Short answer is yes. Long answer is I have to run a wire from the ECM connector to my relays-which really isnt a big deal. The problem I have is I have searched throughout the computers program and cant find where the on-off degree settings are, so I havent done it. So, for now they still operate off of the thermo switch.

There are fan controls in the Vortec "Black Box" PCM which are disabled from the factory.

You must be registered for see images attach

So there must be a pin out in the PCM that could control an aftermarket fan. The pin might already be connected to the fuse panel?

Wish I knew that ahead of time. Woulda saved me a lot of wire running

Well that is on my 99 using HP Tuners. HP Tuners only supports 98+ Vortec Trucks. So it might be an option that is not available to all years.

Yeah, Im running TunerPro RT in conjunction with an EBL daughterboard. Finally sat down last night and searched through all the code just for fans. Found out the reason it had never looked right was that some parameters were in one place, and the rest were elswhere. Got them all set, now I have to run the wire inside and put an end on it so it will plug into the ECM connector.

Ok so tonight j got the fan all mounted in the shroud and on the truck. All I have left is to wire it up and I'm good to go. However I didn't notice this befor but the bigger fan has 3
Terminals on the motor but only 2
In the pigtail. Another confusing part is that the wires are blue and one is red.... Wouldn't that be the 2 different speeds and I'm missing a ground? I had them tested at the junkyard but I don't recall there being a 3rd wire just the 2 and I didn't notice the 3rd was missing until now can someone shed some light on this? Thabks
