Electric Fan ?
hey i just noticed my Fc has an electric fan installed infront of the radiator in addition to the clutch fan. is the factory. I was under the impression that no fc's came with E fans but it looks pretty stock. Just wondering , thanks.

That make some sense^^^^. I just noticed it today. i took out the egi fuse to unflood my engine and i just heard a whirring. The fan's relay must somehow cross the egi fuse. That reminds me. I have another question to post.

The sensor on top of the radiator is a coolant level sensor, so it better not be wired direct to the fan...

Do our cars normally get hot enough for this fan to turn on?

It is there to help under extreme high temp ambient air conditions.
It also will help to warn you when the mechanical fan clutch is wearing out.

Well considering that not every 7 has it it must be ok to remove it. I gotta get my whoel electrica system checked now seeing how bad my wiring got mangled. Since I dont know if it works when its supposed to im thinking of wiring it to be on all the time. Couldnt hurt, right?
