Fan Wiring Instructions

Step 1: Locate mounting point for control

Locate a mounting point for control near inlet side of radiator. Control needs to be placed within 18"
of radiator inlet hose. You may want to mount next to radiator on fender well. Mount control using
screws provided.

Step 2: Wire the fan motors (refer to Wiring Diagram, below)

Using the bullet connectors provided, attach a length of the large diameter (12 AWG)

black

motor wires at fan. Attach a length of the large diameter (12 AWG)

black

wire to the
wires at the fan. Once the fan is in place, these will attach to the control module. If mounting the
control somewhere in the engine compartment, leave enough wire to reach the control module, but
do not connect yet.

Step 3: Connect the motor wires to the control module using the female connectors provided
(Red wire to the "M+" terminal and black wire to the "M-" terminal).

Step 4: Disconnect the negative battery lead for safety while finishing the wiring. Use the large diameter red
wire to run power directly from the battery positive (+) terminal to the "B" terminal on the control module.
Connect the fuse holder in-line with this wire, as shown, but do not insert the fuse yet. Use the blue female,
ring, and butt connectors provided.

Step 5: Use the large diameter black (12 AWG) wire to run from the negative (-) battery terminal to the "G"
terminal on the control module. Use the blue female connector and ring connector provided.

Step 6: Use the small diameter red wire (14 AWG) to connect the "+" terminal on the control module to a
positive power source.
