No this is the stock one and I can tell by design that it's going the wrong way and it sounds like **** as well. This thing was owned by a complete moron. I'm gonna go switch it back right now

Check this out. Guess it had terminals added to make it reversable to make it warm up faster or some ignorant nonsense

easy cheesy, i've wired a fan up a time or 2 and didn't double check my wires after install only to notice a day or 2 later that heat was really flowing out the front of my jeep and the cool air not flowing in... simple enough fix, just switch the wires around and call it a day... the idea of running a 2-way switch for a quicker warm up is a pretty kick a$$ idea if i say so myself lol never would thought of that hahahahehehe

I took it off to get that one out....... A 2 way switch is one thing but having to take the thing out and switch the wires is just plain retarded. I had it overheating in traffic cuz of this nonsense

I had the AC on and it started over heating cuz it was blowing hot air in the radiator. I turned the AC off and all was well. Now all will be well with the fan SUCKING cool air into the radiator when the AC is on
