Default Need non-ac wiring diagram for efan swap

Doing a taurus fan swap in a week or 2. I removed my ac,and all i can find is ac diagrams. I will only be using the low side of the fans since high side pulls a load of amps on start,and is not needed since i dont have ac anymore. If you can help id appreciate it.

cant you pull power straight from the battery ? How is this fan going to kick on? when the engine hits a certain temp ?

Edit: after some research I dont think you connect it any where since the ac got deleted. You can hook it up on something else that would make the engine run hotter then usual .

I'm going to run a thermostat control system with a relay. I could indeed run it in a simple way but i only want it coming on when the temp hits whatever i set it at. Fans pull amps,and my lil 105 alt doesnt like my subs,fans,etc working together full time. i needa do the ad244 upgrade too.

Dont they sell thermostats that are designed for this specific reason to kick the electric fans on when it gets hot?

edit.. I am drunk... second edit... your alt cant handle it? how much power are you running to your subs?

900 rms at 2 ohms. My voltage doesnt drop at all until the heater is on high and lights are on with the subs going. If everything off but the subs and lights its fine. I just know that installing the taurus fans its going to put some stress on my alt with everything else on.


on another note,richie wheres that bottle of yager i was suppose to get for cmas? lol

Dude, I will get you one and mail it to you LOL


On a side note, what amp do you have, I am running 750w at 2 ohms, soon to be 1000w at 1 ohm, and did the big 3, and have the headlight retrofit with the relay harness, I can bang at full volume, have the heat or AC on, and headlights, and the voltage stays at 14.

I am running a class D monoblock amp though, they are extremely efficient.
