help with cooling fan!!
hey guys, i am having trouble with my 90 gxl cooling fan because it wont start and is causing the engine overheat so i took a look at it and the fan is good but the wiring is not attach to anything other than the relay...
<a href="http://s622.photobucket.com/albums/tt301/moonkid_27/?action=view&current=IMG_1033-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt301/moonkid_27/IMG_1033-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
so as u can see in the huge pic (sorry about that) there are 2(black and a red) wires from the fan to the relay and then 2 red wires from the relay to ????
i know the red on the right goes to the pos on the battery but cant find the conection to the other which i connected to the negative and didnt do nothing, i let the car run for like 10 min and the fan didnt start..
here are a couple more pics so u can see better whats going on and help me fix this so i can drive my fc again ..

Your fan cools your car efficiently? Looks a bit too small IMO. I use a taurus 2 speed fan with the low speed always on, and the high speed controlled by a thermoswitch. I can't recall what the wiring diagram is exactly, but 4 or 5 pin relays are fairly simple to wire up. One to 12v power, ground, 12v switched to activate the relay, and the one providing power to the fan.

Yeah, that's not a factory fan. Or even an acceptably sized fan.
Here is a link to how I wired up the dual fans from an MR2 for $20: http://workingtofu.blogspot.com/2008...on-for-20.html
You can get fans from tons of different cars that will work better.
You'll need a temperature control switch for the fan once you get it (if you decide to stick with an E-fan)

Don't drive it much with that fan or you will be rebuilding soon. Stock fan works very well if you can buy one on the forum. Otherwise do the dual fans as in the writeup. Last thing you want is a hot rotary.
