Ah. I would just wire it to be always on with the key then? That way it's on whether the AC is or not. To do that, jus tap-splice the high side coil wire (Which is the ASD output/fuel pump supply as well) and trigger your 70 amp relay with it. No need for controller.

That's a good question but the switch must have some sort of hot lead coming off it when youturn it on to activate everything.. so i'm just going to pull the pannel and check with my DMM and find the activating hot that will give the signal to the controller to kick the fan on for the AC bypass.. when i get this done it will be a how too thread for sure.. :P

Hello Everyone;
I'm starting a new e-fan projects; I loved my previous 2001 Jeep Recall fan but I really want better efficiency and too lazy to build a custom shroud to fit this odd shaped rad, or try and seal up the gap between the factory mech. shroud and electric fan mounted on it. It still worked great but I just want a step better.
So i looked into after seeing an SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee having a loud *** Electric fan on her.. i checked Rock Auto and sure enough the 5.8 and 6.4L both have the same electric fan/shroud assembly.. also used on the 2011~up Durango with V8's..
It measures 25x20 Shroud area and i can cut the tabs off and put my own mounting brackets on it. The 97' Kota Core is about 21-15/16 x 22-5/16 and up untill the cross frame i have about 24.5 inches i can cover with this mounting on it's side and seal up any gaps with some gasket.
A. Rock AUto has TYC brand for about 109 shipped.. Not sure if TYC aftermarket will be as good as the OEM; i'd assume it has to meet OE specs in order to function properly I'd assume?
B. So I'm trying to find more information for the controllers i used to find the 30a controllers but they have all vanished from summit; with that said I'm looking to finding the best controller that is very simple for me to install and hook up.. with out spending a ton either for like the Dakota controller or one of the other one's.
I would really want the following:
- On with AC on..
- Temp adjustable 180~200
-30 amp or better
C. Anyone know what these Green coil thing are on these newer e-fans?? The connector has 3 wires, but the fan only shows to use 2.. the fan should be able to run full speed just off direct voltage input like any other fan right with out having that 3rd wire hooked to anything? This is from a 2014 Grand Cherrokee v8 if that helps. I'm trying to search google know to see if there is any information out there.
Thoughts feed back suggestions? Maybee this will be the next Electric fan option>>????
I'm waiting to purchase till i do some research.
