EFAN Controller
EFAN Controller
I bought a efan kit about 2 months ago with a group buy. It was reasonably priced. I have had it installed for about 3 weeks. Even with 100 degree weather, my ECT on my Edge doesnt report over 198. Thats not bad. The problem I have is the primary fan for the last few days doesnt turn on. I have LEDs to show that. So, today, I looked at the wiring for the controller and found that the fuse is melted. the primary fan kicked on today and still worked with the melted fuse. Should I contact the store that I bought the fans from or should I shell out 100 for a mad controller. The controller that came with the kit felt pretty nice. It was filled with some sorty of epoxy and it felt solid. I would think that with the fuse overheating, it should have opened up. The other controller works like a champ. For right now. Any input would be well appreciated.

If these controllers are a problem, I want to get new ones before I install the fans.
Yea, it was the Jusnes group buy. The fan apears to spin fine right before I pulled the the relay so I dont blow up my truck. Just seems that the fuse deal overheated for some reason and the fuse melted but didnt blow. i would think if the fan was busted it would trip the fuse. I guess same thing with the controller
Here is what I found today. The actual controller with the melted fuse/fuse holder still works but the fuse was in really bad shape so I pulled it. The controller is for the second/ac fan. It is actually the one thats always on due to the A/c. The fan I have connected to it spins freely like the other one but has a little bit of vibe to it when its on and when it turns off. I wonder if the fuse hold is just junk and that the fan is good. Anybody have any input. I just dont want to be stranded on the crazy highway on the way to work. that would be bad. I did order a Mad controller today since I was going to get one anyways. It says it turns off on the highway which is good stuff.
