TROUBLE SHOOTING Q&A
Q: Why doesn’t the fan turn on automatically?
A: 1. Check all connectors to make sure contacts are crimped correctly.
2. Check the Ground connection to make sure all paint is sanded off and you are getting a metal to metal contact.
3. Check the 20 Amp Fuse Holder to make sure the fuse is good and is securely in place.
Q: Why does the electric fan run after the engine is turned off?
A: Check the ignition wire to make sure this is connected to a switched ignition source and not a constant power source.

WIRING
(See Diagram #2)
Before starting, disconnect the Negative (-) cable on the
vehicles battery.
1. Attach the Negative (-) wire on the electric fan to a good
chassis ground (-).
2. Attach the Positive (+) wire on the electric fan to EITHER
terminal on the Thermostat Switch.
3. Attach the remaining terminal on the Thermostat Switch to
either wire on the 20 Amp Fuse Holder. (Not Supplied)
4. Attach the remaining wire on the 20 Amp Fuse Holder to a
good Positive (+) switched ignition source.
If this wire is connected to a constant power source
(battery) the electric fan will run after the vehicle has
been shut off and could run down the battery.
Reattach the Negative (-) cable on the vehicles battery.
Note:
Warning: Installation of accessories should only be undertaken by those with mechanical knowledge and are familiar with working on
vehicles. Always use eye protection (goggles, safety glasses or shield). Park the vehicle in a well lit area, on level ground and apply the
parking brake. Only work on a cold vehicle that has been sitting overnight, failure to do so will result in severe burns and injury. Before starting
