Electric Fans

[Ninety5PoloZ]

BB sells a harness to make fans PLUG AND PLAY and work as if they were stock. No need for relays and wiring hassels

Probably at a hefty price too. No offense, but they seem to be high on their pricing IMO

But I'm going to be ordering my fans tonight, but I need to make sure that 2 16" fans will fit. The demensions on the radiator are 34x17 but does that include the tanks on either side? I need to run out and measure it quick.

But I plan on running my own relays and temp sensor and wiring it in with the AC so it works correctly as though it were stock and for about $40. I'd just hook it up on a switch, but since the wife drives it almost as much as I do and she would forget about it, I'll go the extra way and make sure its done right.

But I'll have pics up hopefully by the weekend, but who knows what will come up LOL

Wiring it in with the AC and with temperature sensor probe, is not the stock way of setting it up.

No but it would function like a stock setup would.

But I looked up your fan kit, $90 isn't too bad but its more than I would like to spend. And it only list it working for 99-06 trucks, not a 97 like what I have

The temperature probe does not work like a stock setup. A stock set up will turn off the fans when you get up to a certain speed as your driving airflow is greater than what the fans can flow, saving you that extra load by not having to work the alternator.

jenna, just curious, how easy is it to install one of your efan harnesses? is it literally plug and play, or is it more of a find, splice, and play?

Its for 99 and up trucks according to their site.

And I know how the fans are suppost to work, I have e fans on my camaro and know that they will shut off at certain speeds, but its kind of hard to do a setup like that if its not suppost to be like that from the factory. And I don't run the AC alot so it doesn't really concern me that much and my truck will have daul batterys here soon so that will help with the load a little bit and then I'm getting a larger alternator someday when the system gets installed so a little more amp draw won't be a big deal

good thing i've got a 99 then. lol
but either way, ive already got dual batts, so im not worried about the drain. so i could just do it myself with relays, but I'm lazy when it comes to my own car, so the easier the better. lol. plus, i've seen what heppens to exposed relays in engine bays. the last thing i want is to lose my fans to the elements.

someone said they had pics of the install with the relay in the relay box or something.. i can has pics plz? lol

I installed the relay in the black box on the drivers side. I will get pics for you keeps it nice and dry and out of sight.....

Here are the pics. Hapyspaz and myself did the rebuild on the truck he had the idea to put it in the tool box. I did a test fit to line everything up drilled the spots and used wire loom to hide the wires in the engine bay. There are two extra wires for the a/c relay so far everything is great turned out to be a great spot. As you can see left extra wire in the box looks a little messy but I plan on a second fan so I wanted room to play.

damn. thats where my second battery is. lol. might be the time to get my battery box built so i can accompany it with that relay..
