hey peoples, well my second clutch fan is about to go so im getting altima fans soon.
ive searched online and there are some ways to wire it but they are all diferent.
wich way did you do it?

pos to acc and ground to switch in cavin.
pos to A.c and second pos to switch.
pos straight to battery.
fan controler.
thermo switch.

WHIch one lol

i was thinking, run the mid off the fuel pump. so it turns on when the car is on. and the second one off the accesory and ground it to a switch in the cavin so i can turn it on while i drive.....

is is better to have both turn on at all times? or what to do?
ive noticed altimas have hose through thermo sensor on the rad hose. could i use that?

please post with detail. since i need this by the end of the week.
 
I have mine wired up to a relay, that's tripped from the fuel pump wire in the engine bay. Plain and simple.
 
yeah im going to use either 12 or 10 gauge wire.
ok here is the deal i found this set up that i like.

passenger fan ,you hook it up to your stock ac fan so you turn it on with the ac.

and driver side fan you hook itup to a relay to an accesory so it comes on when the car is on.
now my question is.

should i run the AC fan at all times or what? should i invest in a thermo switch so it turns on when the car gets above 205 deg. and turns off when it cools under 180 deg?

is there such thing as overcooling? i read about it on nico. so thats keeping me from running both fans at all times.

i know im gona hook one to turn on at all times when the acc ignition is on.
but what about the second one??

please help.

EVERYONE in the netz has a diferent way of doing it , and im done reading complicated wiring diagrams and stupid shit......
 
well never heard of overcooling lol but i have heard of burning your Alternator or your wires for drawing the current constanstly at full power.
 
if your car doesnt warm up the ecu could stay in warm up mode and/or your thermostat will stay shut. best thing to do is wire it up to a thremo switch but lots of people run fans with simple relays with no problem just depends.

are u sure about that? the purpose of a relay is to route the heavy load straight from the source to the battery, and then the TRIGGER WIRE which draws no load or amps whatsoever, energizes the relay
 
Run Them To The Wiper Motor, Using Relays..... You Can Even Add A Switch And Control Them From The Inside... The Worst That Could Happen Is Your Wiper Motor Dies Out... But Its Just Wipers..lol
