junk the adjustable thermostat. its shit. shit, thats right. its gonna break later anyway. just do what i did, run a wire to acc fuse box, split in 2 and wire to 2 acc fuses, say 15 and 20= total 35 amps just to be safe. done done. ground to the batery. put the keys in, turn the key fans are on. Tada!

But then you're keeping your car from getting to operating temp as quickly. Tada! Bad gas mileage.

I get terrible gas mileage...
Each fan on a FAL-210 requires 30 amps... Check teh power requriements before wiring all 'willey-nilley'.

heh.. i love that word when old people use it...

punxva · 06-18-2005, 02:38 PM

well could some1 show me the right way to wire it up???

420sx · 06-18-2005, 03:31 PM

dunno, gas mileage is still fine here. its on with ignition. even then u can use ur relays and do it that way too. just look at the wires. plus it should come with a diagram. it aint hard.

hot to hot. ground to ground.

There's a good thread on importfanatix.com right about electric fans.

punxva · 06-18-2005, 08:57 PM

hey could u give me that link to the thread? cause i cant singup for that forum, so i cant search it lol

Or, you could just wire your fan to a switch, and run it into your car to where your cigarette lighter is (take your cig lighter off).

Keep it off on freeway driving, keep it on for city driving.
only problem is you have to remember to turn it on and off.

Screw those aftermarket E-Fans! One of my friend's just burnt out... Go for the Nissan Altima fans, already proven to outflow the rest of them. And I just so happen to have 2 sets for sale :P (e-mail me [email protected] if interested)

you know you can find a step by step how to @ www.240sx.org It's in their installs section.

when zilvia's your only resource, you know you got issues.

good luck.
