OK how do you know? You're a dumbass and forgot to turn your fan on? $150 of relays?A $20-$50 Ford Taurus fan will work well after you wire it up to 100-150 bucks worth of relays, ...ask me how I know.
I'm with Mean Green, DPDT 3 position switch Auto (LO)-OFF-Manual (HI)cheapo $13 temp switch with a $5 30 amp relay on the low side and a 70 amp relay from 12volt guy on the manual high speed side. Cheap and Simple.i have like 35 bucks in my taurus fan? 3 positions swith for auto off and man on. then i got the big relay from 12 voltguy for like 20. then a breaker button so if it ever pops i dont have to depend on another fuse. sonme temp prob but dont remember. i think i did a write up and wiring diagram in my build if you look.
mine works great. same fan all my mustang 5.0 friends use
2007 CLK350. Should be the same from 2005 on up to 2009. Mine was free so thats what I used.It easier for me to find a CLK fan than a TAURUS one. Much more expensive BUT simpler.

Sounds like you over-did it. I used a fog lamp relay for the low speed and had my ECM control it (a $15 thermostatic switch would have done the same thing if I wasn't already using the ECM to switch the fan), and used a $20 snow plow relay to control the high speed via $5 switch. I think I spent $50 or so to run it (fan was free, snow plow relay was $20, a switch and some connectors). I ran it trouble-free for 3 seasons like that and sold it now another guy down in FL is running it daily in his YJ 350 swap.I actually did all this shit...that's how I know. How bout you??
Hayden Imperial fan controal switch, Bosch 75 amp relay, three way toggle, make some mounting brackets, pack of zip ties, pack of radiator straps, wire loom, 25ft of "red, black, green, and yellow" wire of various gauges, fuses, connectors, tape, than finally some trimming of the Taurus fan shroud to make it fit...and WHALA...you've got yourself an over complicated pile of fuck jammed in your engine compartment!
Other than all the necessary shit you need to actually use the fan...they do keep your motor cool, but If your telling me you've never forgot to turn back on your fan...than you've never installed one on your vehicle. Now, quit giving advice on shit you've got ZERO experience with, and go bolt up some street locks. :flipoff2:
you can get a used Ford Taurus fan pretty cheap and they're what alot of guys are using.
Fail, fuckn' nothn'.Sounds like you over-did it. I used a fog lamp relay for the low speed and had my ECM control it (a $15 thermostatic switch would have done the same thing if I wasn't already using the ECM to switch the fan), and used a $20 snow plow relay to control the high speed via $5 switch.

You failed.
How is it holding toghther??? what radiator you are usingHere is the write up i used for the taurus fan worked really well and cost about $50 (20 for the fan) after all was said and done and i had to build a custom mount for a aftermarket radiator.
