![]() ![]() The fan runs fine when hooking up blue to positive and black to negative. One blue, one black, and two black with red stripes. I do have some questions about the fan wires. I'm will use the red wire from what I assume is the wiper motor for the 12V switched source (see photo). Tomorrow (if I can find a place open) I'm going to get the needed wire splices and hookup the relay kit. All mounting hardware was salvaged from around the garage (including leftover bolts from a toilet mount kit ). I drilled 3 holes in the plastic shroud and used 1 original hole to mount it to the radiator. It turned out that turning the electric fan shroud (from a '96 T-Bird) 90 degrees from the way it was intended to be mounted was almost a perfect fit in my Ranger. So this afternoon I removed the belt fan and mounted the electric fan. Eventually of course it would come on but the temp gauge was rising by that point - which is what I didn't want happening. When I tried an upper hose switch at a high enough temp so it wouldn't come on from normal highway cruising, it also didn't help much in idling situations (stayed off too long), due to being set for too high a temp. In the upper hose, all switches would come on at highway speeds because the water there was already hotter than it should be (because it needs cooling). I tried various temp switches in the upper (hot) radiator hose before going to the lower hose solution. ![]() Why I didn't use an upper (hot) hose switch. This will also add the following products to your cart: B17508MC Vacuum Wiper Motor Core Fee - 100.00. I got the temp for that switch set nicely it comes on for long highway upgrades in summer, or if I idle it without using the brake. SKU: B17508M Category: Windshield Wiper and Washer Tags: 1955 Ford Thunderbird, 1956 Ford Thunderbird, 1957 Ford Thunderbird. So if the water from radiator isn't sufficiently cool to support the engine, the fan comes on, high speed. I added a temp switch in the rad lower hose (return hose) which is set some 20 deg. When not moving or when crawling in traffic, the fan runs on low speed. I ended up very happy with a relay link running off the brake light circuit. I too wanted to mimick the constant breeze of the belt fan without excessive operation of the e-fan. Toughest part was managing the fan switching. For all of your classic Ford restoration needs, you can always count on MACs. Does not include knob, each kit sold individually. I left the cable connected, and just inspected the switch.Ģ) How does the cable remove from the motor (I see the screw head) but want to ask before removing.ģ) After removal, Is there anything I need to know about working on the external switch assemble?I did an e-fan conversion on my rwd Volvo 240 with 2.3 liter engine. Our 12-Volt 2-speed wiper motors come complete with switch and everything you need to install them where your vacuum wiper was originally. I removed the wiper arms from the motor, Disconnected the hydraulic lines, and pulled the motor from the car. The switch appears to be pushed all the way in- which I assume is "OFF". I don t want to force things until I KNOW exactly how this system operates. ![]() I've discovered it is cable operated, but the cable will not move. The first issue I need to address- is the wiper system.Īfter starting the car, the wipers are already running. I have successfully got it running, but some issues are cropping up. I do not have any manuals or catalogs for this car (yet) I am working on a customer's 1963 T-bird. ![]()
