Default Radiator Fan

How do you wire it?
Right now the fan doesn't really work. Is there such a thing as a dead fan?

its not the 4 banger fan is it? Whatever it is just wire it direct. One wire ground and the other to ignition, like a fuse maybe

you need a fan controller, unless you want to run it off a switch.

Ok...so I need a fan controller, and a fuse.
I need to ground the fan, then run the positive into the ignition switch and split that wire with a fan controller?

originally i bought an aftermarket fan with a relay which worked really good, for awhile, then the relay took a crap. So i cut the wires and grounded the one and just ran the same gauge through the firewall and attached a connector and ran it through the radio fuse. It works fine and always keeps the engine cool beause its always on. Make sure the fan blows towards the engine or u may have to switch the two wires around to get it moving the correct way.
