It is a couple hour job. Just make sure you have what you need before you start. You will need some material to fab brackets out of, something to get the stock clutch fan off with, wiring and a controller.
Here are some instructions that some guy wrote up https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...c-fan-diy.html

I got My e-fan from p&p out of a 3.8 liter Ford Taurus for 26 dollars the relays I for for free I just ripped some out of some Ford Tauruses. I got the Temp controller from Advanced Auto Parts for 17 bucks and the 10 gauge wire and 2 fuse holders from Radio Shack. I hooked the low speed to Condensor fan and the high speed to the temp controller. As for the Myth that this fan pulls 100 amps on start up and you need giant relays is crap. I am a wiz when it comes to electronics and I measured the amps that this fan pulls in many different situations. Even holding the fan blade with my hand and starting it up only pulled 61 amps. It pulls 36 amps at start up and runs a constant 24 amps after that. I am running 2 40 amp fuses and the 2 Ford relays for a long time now and never had a problem. If you need any help let me know and I will walk you through it. I have less than 50 bucks in the install...

thanks guys Im gonna order the fan tonight. I gotta look up DIY and get ready. So from what I gather I need to get temp controller (auto parts store), 2 relays (do they have to be for a taurus, what should i ask for at the auto store?), 2 40amp fuse holders with fuses, right? Plus I gotta figure out a way to get it to set in place. Am I missing anything?

I used this write up http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...cfan/index.php and all the parts they listed, and wired it up just like in the diagram. One relay should be in the controller you get and I got a 75 amp just like the write up I linked to says to get. Yea it may be overkill but better safe than sorry. I think you have all the info you need, but be aware that this job can take longer than a few hours. It took me a whole day to get it all working and have everything routed and tied together neatly.

The controller I got did not have a relay. Its just a open switch with a heat probe that closes when the temp you set is reached. As for the relays I used a Ford relay part #
FOAB 14B192-AA 8236-1 09 2R If you cant find any for cheap or free and can wait a couple days I will send you a couple for free. I pulled about 15 of these things when I was at Pick & Pull... If you want I can draw up the wiring diagram I used also. It simplifies the wiring...
