I was just wondering would it be a simple task to remove the clutch fan and replace it with an e-fan? 03 5.4

1. How do you remove the clutch fan?

2. Does an e-fan have only two wires for the battery? Or is it more complicated than that?

3. I would really appreciate help!


Thanks

 

There's a red and black wire that ultimately end up at the battery, a fuse block, controller and a bunch of tapping goes on as well. Have someone who knows where to tap, solder etc hook it up because in a kit or mix matching, it still is pretty easy. It's hit or miss on easy clutch fan removal, mine was easy, too easy and I slipped and cut a knuckle. No biggy.

 

How simple it is depends on how you set it up.

You could just hook up the + wire to the battery positive and the - wire to battery negative, but then the fan would be on ALL the time, thats not what you want.

You need to decide if you want the fan to come on via a switch that the driver has to control or if you want the fan to come on via a thermostat reading and wire it accordingly. It would also be a good idea to fuse the circuit. There are many other variables too....such as a one speed fan vs a multi speed fan, push vs pull, how much CFM do you need, how many amps can your current charging system spare for the e-fan etc. etc.

It isn't quite as simple as you seem to think it is.

I know it says 4.9 but it will fit perfectly
