Anyone installed one of the Flex A Lite 270 kits on a 2004 F-150 ? Where and which wires did you tap into for the A/C and for the 12 V power ? Pics would be GREAT!

 

for the ac look at your ac copmressor and there should be 2 wires going to it the gray wire is the one you want

as for power, if its the constant power hook it up to the battery, switched i used a fuse tap and tapped into my fuse box

 

I see a black wire and a green with white stripe wire going to the A/C ?

 

Well, I'm installing the fans today, did a search and got some info, really thought I'd get more, I have an extra Flex A Lite 270 kit, new complete in the box for $550.00 Shipped if anyone is interested, I got two by mistake and need the cash back !

 

This forum does not get much traffic, if you have not already list them in the classifieds

 

I tried, but it didn't show up !

 

If you are not using the Daytime Running lights you can tape into the wires you need there. Read more about it this link.

 

Did you get them in ??

Thats funny I just seen your add on KSL...... I just put a set on that I bought from a meber here in the classifieds.. my body style is different 01 but I used some instuctions found here @ this site http://www.timskelton.com/lightning/...iator_fans.htm Tim is also a meber here.. Any more questions just ask, I also live in Roy

 

After reading that link, I'm confused, I thought they didn't run at highway speeds anyway, now I'm really not sure how to wire the dang things up ! Lightning, where in Roy are you ? PM me.

 

P.S. What Temp is everyone setting the fans to come on for best performance ?

 

PM sent.

 

I used to live in Sunset when I was a kid. LOL

 

Uh, Okay, good for you then ! Anyone have any constructive advice here ?

 

My FAL 270 is still sitting in the garage, shame on me, but I have collected some info and called the people up at Flex-a-lite and asked them the question of "do they run at hwy speed." The answer is yes and no, if you have the AC on they will run at a min. of 60% when the compressor is engaged. The fans will also come on and adjust their speed to what is required to bring your ECT down to the acceptable (adjustable) range. The FAL controller also has connections to turn off the fans for "water crossings" and to bypass the controller and run them full speed. I think during hwy speed the fans will be off most of the time as there will be sufficient air flow to keep your temp low enough to not require the fans. They will come on unnecessarily whenever the AC compressor is engaged. You also have the option of not connecting the AC trigger, but, from what I hear, that would sacrifice another benefit of efans giving you superior AC performance at low speed operation. Hope that helps.

 

Thanks MeanGene, now if someone can post pics of the 12V and A/C connections for a 2004 and up, that would be a GREAT help !
