You sell the 240?

 

so about an hour ago i decided to replace my tstat. i did the boiling water trick and bam.. the old one opened about 1/8 of an inch while the new one opened fully. so i stabed the new one back in and BOOM.! drove to tbell n back and idled in the parking lot reving to about 2g in rpms multiple times to see how hot i can get her. she doesnt move above 225. didnt even get hot enough for the aux fan to kick on. which is about 230 or so.

on a side note, i want to wire the aux fan to a 3 way switch, for a norm and manual setting. for the norm setting is easy but for the manual on should i wire in a relay or add in a fuse and go from the box? i dont know how much the fan motor can take in terms of voltage and i dont want to overload it. can anyone chime in on some insight?

 

I have mine wired to a relay and a switch. Power side of the fan is tapped, to the switch side of the relay. And the coil side of the relay is set on a switch which is key on power and hidden under my dash.

I have a wiring diagram in my "Jeep mods" binder. I can upload a pic if needed.

Been on call at work since 3pm. Ready to get out of here!

 

the picture would be very helpful. i dont know much about wireing, and ive been trying to google guides to follow but i cant seem to find any for the aux fan.
thanks alot

edit: well i have found threads to help but they are all confuseing as ****. i need it dumbed way down.

and also, with the way you have this wired, it allows you to manualy turn on the fan and it does not effect when the fan turns on automaticly?

 

Its gonzo

 

When the switch is on, as soon as the key is turned to the on position the fan is on. It is on at all times during the summer heat and I never go over 210 even during slow crawls off road. When the switch is off, the fan is in normal operation and will turn on as needed.

Some posts I have come across mentioned a CEL problem. I have not had that happen and this has been wired since March.

Wiring diagram to follow shortly.

 

Posting from my phone.



Hope this makes sense. The hot wire at the fan might be a different color than mine. My wire is green.

 

gonna be heading to pick a part on lamb here soon. hopefully i can find a stock e fan so i can drive the jeep

 

Make sure and get one with curved blades.

 

yes i know. thank you. hopefully the fan with the curved blades is out there.

 

my cel randomly went out. my friend said some cars will automaticly go out after a certin amount of starts would a jeep cel stay on untill the problem is fixed?

 

It should stay on until you reset the code....but I'm not 100%

 

alright thanks man.

 

anyone need a stock front bumper? 20 bucks takes it, its got a front lisence plate frame and 2 fog light mounts.

 

What did you put in its place???
