FAL #425
86-92 Toyota Supra
Electric Cooling Fan
Be sure the engine is cool before you start working on your car. For added safety, disconnect your
battery to keep the fans from coming on while you are working under the hood.
FAN INSTALLATION (Diagram A)
Step 1:Unbolt and remove OEM fan shroud from radiator. Retain the bolts as they will be used to
secure the FAL fan.
Step 2:Remove the four bolts holding the fan clutch and fan assembly to the water pump. It is very
important that you re-install the four nuts back onto the pulley. You may need to use washers to “shim”
the bolts.
Step 3:The FAL fan has cutouts in the bottom for the tabs on the radiator, to prevent interference with
the water pump. Mount the supplied bracket to the top of the fan using the included screws.
Step 4:Place the tabs into the cutouts on the bottom of the fan. Pivot the fan forward and determine
which of the supplied spacers are required for your application. Using the factory bolts, secure the
fan assembly to the radiator making sure the bulb seal is pressed to the core of the radiator.

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. Y ou 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)
colored
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 supplied female connectors
(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.

Step 8: (Optional) For manual switch operation, use Flex-a-lite p/n 31 148. Connect the switch as shown
on the wiring diagram (previous page). Connect the "M" terminal on the control module to the "#1"
terminal on the switch. Connect the "#2" terminal on the switch to a positive 12v power source. Connect
terminal "#3" on the switch to a good ground (for switch illumination).
NOTE: To prevent thermostatic
activation (if only manual switch operation is desired), omit the lead to the "+" terminal of the
control box. "B", "G", "M+" and "M-" must remain connected. If not using a Flex-a-lite manual
switch, do not connect a ground wire to the switch!
Step 9: Use the zip ties provided to secure the wires and prevent them from interfering with fan blades,
belts, and pulleys in the engine compartment. Reconnect the battery and insert the 30 amp fuse provided.
Step 10: Insert the temperature probe into the radiator fins
Install temp. probe near inlet hose...
then install the insulator cap.
Locate the inlet hose from the engine to the radiator . Remove the black insulator cap and insert the
temp. probe through the radiator fins near the inlet hose. Reinstall the black insulator cap.
If you disconnected any hoses or drained coolant to install the fan, reconnect the hoses and refill the
radiator. Press the control knob (included in wiring kit) onto the control box shaf t. Turn the knob clockwise until it stops. S tart the engine and allow it to idle. Using a hand held temperature sensor (positioned near the inlet hose) or the vehicle's temperature guage, monitor the temperature. When the coolant temp. is slightly above normal (or desired temp.), turn the knob counter-clockwise just until the fan
turns on. From now on, the fan should activate at this temperature setting. Adjust as necessary to maintain desired temperature.
