I'm installing a more powerful fan in my car with a shroud. A 98 Lincoln Mark VIII fan to be exact. I'm trying to decide on how to wire it.
My first thought was just take the low speed circuit from the fan controller and have it activate a relay and turn on the fan. Nice and simple.
I'm really not concerned with two speeds but if there's any possibility I'm open to it.
So with that does the low and high speed circuit from the fan controller work at different voltages? Or are they both 12 volt outputs that just run different windings in the motor of our stock fan that spin at different speeds?
Could I just wire the low and high speed circuits together (set to come on together in tune) to supply additional current to this fan which draws more and eliminate adding an additional relay? Or does the fan controller turn off the low speed output when the high speed output turns on?
So many questions... if anyone is overly familiar with the fan controller and can save me some detective work please chime in.
Thanks
Malcolm
