The second fan should get hooked up to a second switch.

 

that light idea is sweet! i have to put that in! i think that fiftyf150 is better suited to answer your question.

 

how do i go about putting this probe through the radiator, anyone got pictures? I am going to do the strips of metal thng and NOT put bolts through my radatior, thats senseless (no offence) LOL!

 

and the a/c wire, does that get tied in with the a/c power wire? "the hot wire"

 

you tied both power wires and ground wires together with both fans, what did you do after that? Splice the ground with the ground on the controller, than used the controller ground and bolted it to the frame? And tied the those two fans to 1 of the fan wires?

 

okay, i did splice the power and ground wires with both fans together, then i ran the ground wire to the frame. I ran the power wire into the controller and out of the controloer. from the controler the power wire went straight tot eh battery. My controller is breaking the powersource as long as the temperature does not meet, say, 195.. when it hits 195 deg. the the power source is flowing to the fans.

 

How many controllers do you have? Running 2 fans on one controller is a no no, unless you are using quality kit that is designed to handle it.
Fans can draw up to 40 amps on start up. That is 80 amps running through 1 controller. I have the Troyer kit. It uses two controllers. The controllers are made by Durale. They have a second lead to power a second fan. I use that lead to turn on a light in my instrument cluster. I don't have the little PRND21 plate in the instrument cluster so I placed t lights in the blank cover. When I need to remove the cluster I just remove that plate and the cluster is free to come out. I would suggest that if you place lights in your cluster that you add connectors so that the cluster can be removed by disconnecting the connectors rather than removing the lights.

PS. yes one side of the light gets power from the controller and the other wire goes to ground.

 

Might I suggest rerouting the wires out of the way?



I play in the **** all the time. No worries from snagging a wire.

If i get another controller its gonna have 4 selections for fans. This is what i think you guys are saying. Hook one fan up to one wire on one controlller, 1 on the other, but take the 2nd wire from one of the controllers and run it to a light? Than how are they both supposed to know when the a/c is on? Tie them in with the a/c unit? Do i run that a/c wire from the controller to the power lead of the a/c, and what ignition wire would you recommend?

 

good idea bro.. i will rerout them

 

So you got 1 on each side in that wire loom? Did you tie the controller's a/c wires to the a/c sensor on the compressor?

 

Can someone please scan the Troyer Performance installation manual for this kid? He's installing the same switch on similar fans. All his questions will be answered.....wiring, probes, grounding, how not to cut his fingers, et cetera.....

Take That & Rewind It Back

 

I have two controllers each with a temperature probe and a second wire to supply power for a second fan. The Blue wire, which powers a second fan, is sent to a light in the instrument cluster. When the controller turns on a Fan it also turns on the light letting me know which fan is on. I only have 1 fan connected to the AC circuit to turn on when the AC clutch is activated. I have a master kill switch to turn off both fans for water crossings. I also have individual switches to independently turn on each fan. The switches bypass the controllers in case of controller failure.

ouch that was mean! i am not illiterate dude i think with a little explanation i can handle it. I have just not done them before. That would be nice if someone scanned the manual for me though.

*JMC - Alright so controller A, ground it, power it, tie it to the a/c, then fan wire 1 to to fan 1, and also to a light on the dash. Than tie to ignition wire.

Controller B, ground it, power it, leave off A/C, than fan wire 1 to fan 2, and tie to ignition as well..

Correct me if im wrong.

What did you do with your fan wire 2 from each controller? Use those for the individual fans?

 

I cannot find the instructions for the Troyer kit or I would send them to you. Here is a link to install instructions for the Derale fan controller.

In my system the blue wire goes to a light not to a fan. The ignition source is wired into a relay that has the circuit closed when the relay is not energised. When I flip the switch the power opens the circuit at the relay and turns off the ignition source to the fans and that turns them off.
