gday i have installed thermo fans into my ed and am just wondering if they are opwerating correctly.

-when i turn ignition to "on" postion one fan works on low speed
-when the car gets to about 90deg the high speed fan works aswell as the low speed fan.

is this correct that i always have atleast one fan working? or should they both turn on only when the car reaches 90deg???

It depends how you wired them and what you arranged them to do. What wiring arrangement did you use?

If you can draw a picture of your wiring would help.

Cheers

i bought a kit off ebay and it is wired correctly its just that im wondering if it is normal for one of the fans to run all of the time- i thought they would only turn on when the car gets hot

I agree with you. It is rather strange to have a fan running when engine is cold.

I presume you don't have the aircon on? That may account for a fan running.

If you can scan me the wiring diagram I may be able to help more. I was not insinuating you wired it wrong but it is pretty near impossible to guess what may be wrong without some idea how it is wired. Was it a commercial kit, how many relays what type of temperature sensor etc etc.

Above is right. Having a diagram would make "guessing" a lot more scientific :lol: . As a guide my XH (EF-EL fan setup) has one fan come on at low speed as the car warms up, the same fan picks up speed if the car gets hot and the other kicks in with the aircon on ( think thats right) but thats factory wiring.... 8-)
