Windowsrookie Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 My electric fan isn't kicking on and I suspect the relay, will any 30 Amp relay work? Or does the stock fan suck down more than 30 amps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88 Beast Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Before condeming the relay, make sure your fan motor is good. Unplug motor and connect directly to battery. If motor is good, it will run. Remember, electric fan only runs after coolant reaches certain temp. or if a/c is turned on. Could be bad temp.switch on radiator too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Most of the factory E-fans are possessed. On my blue XJ, it would run when it was about -30 outside and the motor wasn't warm. Test it as said. If it works, a 30A relay will be fine. A 20A will work too. The peak amperage might be a bit higher, but it's the running amperage you need to worry about... It's nice to be able to turn the fan off if you ever get into deep water - it'll save the fan blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
