Need a relay to run my e-fan, its a two-wire taurus fan. Not sure on amperage but I do know it pulls a bit more air than the 3 wire fan on high. I was thinking 80 amp relay to be safe?
Main question - Where can I order online a heavy duty relay and socket? Local auto parts stores are useless, highest they can get is 40 amps

 

http://order.waytekwire.com/productd...POWER%20RELAY/, this is where I got the one I use for my taurus fan which I run on high. You can also get larger relays like it on ebay.

 

ebay or stereo shop, im using a 40 amp from aap and it works fine...

 

You can get one from almost any auto parts store. I got a hayden controller from autozone for $35.

 

Auto part stores do not carry big relays and those that come with the Hayden usually are only 40 amp relays.

I replaced the relay on my Hayden controller with a 80/60amp relay from ebay for $11-12

Here is the link and the item number is 110373059322

The pins do have to be trimmed to fit the controller. They are bigger to carry the extra current and load.

okay thanks guys! Local stores are always a pain to deal with, selection in Canada is terrible for anything related to auto repair. What connectors should I use to hook up the relay?

 

You will need a fan controller like an Hayden 3647 which the relay will fit into.

 

I have the flex-a-lite controller that doesn't have a plug-in for a relay

 

Does it have a relay on-board already?

 

No, because in the catalogue there was a relay included with the full kit, but was not heavy enough for my fan. I just bought the sensor, which had a controller, and a probe
