Default Wiring FF Dynamics triple fan?

I just got my three fan conversion and was wondering if anyone knows what size fuse to wire the yellow wire to. Anyone?

What size wire is it? I would guess a 20-30 amp fuse. Let us know how good it works when you figure it out, many people have overheating issues when they remove the clutch fan.

Not sure what gauge the wire is but I stuck it in a 15 amp fuse for now and it works fine. I haven't wired up the third fan that kicks on with the AC yet but DANG all of a sudden my AC works! So the two fans are pulling way better than the single clutch fan (even though it was a new clutch). The reason I converted was because my electric fan was defective and I wanted something a little more efficient.

Bottom line: even though it's not 100% installed, it already works better than the stock setup. I'm happy.

FF Dynamics sets the default thermostat setting to 160°, so I'll have to crank it up to 180° to match the engine thermostat.

I just got a response from FF Dynamics: "The fans draw well under 1 amp so any fuse will do."

Under one amp seems... Really lean for the force they exert. Have been thinking of doing this upgrade so I'm glad to see someone else doing it, positive results seem good! What activities have you put it through since installing?

So far just work commute (short) and grocery-getting, but I leave soon for a road trip through 6 states. Should be a decent enough test methinks! Let me say again though: this basically fixed my AC after I went through and replaced most of the system to no effect.
