I just today (12 hrs. ago) finished my e-fan mod using a 16" pusher fan and controller from Advance. PO had replaced the stock rad with an aluminum unit so I had tons of room on the engine side of the rad, so I needed a puller.

To make it a puller, I had to open the fan and flip over the blades and then wire the pos and neg pigtail out the back of the fan in reverse. Mount the fan oriented to center of motor, not radiator. Ground the fan, run a wire from the battery to an inline fuse, then to the thermostat, then thermostat back to the fan.
I hung the probe vertically about 1/3 from the top of the radiator (some ppl stuff it in the upper rad hose) and set the temp screw when engine was at running temp. Where I live, it rarely gets below freezing, so the fan is needed, especially in traffic or an unusually hot day.

Just a single 16 inch single speed
I've heard of wiring it to the fuse box, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Cool. I also got my fan and controller from advance. In the instructions it says just what you did, to set the fan up as a puller flip the blade over and reverse the wiring at the fan.

Don't know how to mention people from the app but I'm sure unit505 could be of some help here.

oh god yall be ready for either a long response or a link to a long response if units coming lmao just kidding he really has helped me and im sure hes gonna be more than glad to help you too

I'm sure he will. I was talking to my friend today and he said he would just splice it in with the 12v accessory power wire for the radio. Sounds convenient but would it work ok?

One thing I'm concerned about is I'm still running the stock 2g alternator (for now) and I'm wondering if it can handle the e-fan. I plan to upgrade to the 3g soon but for now I'm stuck with this wimpy fire hazard alternator lol.

Sleepy and can barely read right now........Lol. Looks like someone is asking about power source?
I ran a light gauge wire to an ignition triggered fuse under the hood. Ran that to the trigger on a relay. That provides power to the fan(s) when the key is turned on. Fed the relay with a heavy gauge wire from the battery. Second relay.....heavy gauge wire from the first relay out to the power in on a second relay. The thermal switch sends the trigger signal to the second relay. Heavy gauge wire out from second relay to the fan(s).

First relay provides high amperage power with key on. Second relay powers the fan(s) triggered by the thermal switch. I run dual fans and installed a relay on each fan as a fail safe. Split the power wire from the thermal switch with one wire run to the trigger on each relay. With one fan, it's very simple. However, it won't pull as much cfm as the factory dual fans from a Taurus or Chrysler product and there's no fail safe. plus, if you run AC, you need two electric fans, preferably anyway. Just my opinion.

Hope this helps. I'll find the pics and check in tomorrow. Just got done with an 84 hour shift on the ambulance and they ran us in the ground this set.

Thanks unit! I had to read that a couple times but I understand it more now. The fan controller I got has a relay and a probe for the rad fins. It should be pretty simple because I'm just hooking up one single speed fan because I don't have working ac

My fan controller has a relay too. However, to preserve the life of the controller, I only use it for a relay trigger. I wasn't sure about the max load of the controller, so it worked out well that way. The controller should last allot longer under no load.
