My new Samsung Galaxy S9+ made my car look way better than it actually looks. Went out to a car show yesterday with my club members.
Do you have pics of how it's wired? My fan is dual speed but I use it on high only. If you don't have pics can you draw it for me. Now how do I incorperate that into the fan wiring in my new harness that I will be putting on with the PIMP?I am running a dual speed MarkVIII fan and have had no issues with it at all.... I trigger mine from the ECU and use 2 plain 40A bosch relays wired with #10 in parallel... low speed only i have never needed to put the fan on high. For future you could have the board trigger a separate relay [or set of relays] to turn on the fan so the board is not seeing the actual motor load.
Awesom!! Thanks! This will be one of the first things I set when I install my PIMPxs. Did you use your factory engine harness or did you get the harness designed for the PIMPxs? I bought the harness for it. I know it has a designated fan relay in the harness so how would accomadate for that?I have my Mark VIII fan wired up the same way and it works great. @a91what Steve can confirm this, but for pin 30 constant + to the battery I wired in 40A maxi fuses. My understanding is that they are designed to handle large inrush currents like the Mark VIII pulls when it starts up.
PiMPxs/MS3 has a dedicated fan control feature that makes configuring everything super easy too:
No problem man, I'm excited for you to get that baby installed and start digging inAwesom!! Thanks! This will be one of the first things I set when I install my PIMPxs.

I used the factory harness with mine and added a relay near the computer to make the fan output ground coming from the ECU stronger and wired it to my 2 fan relays.
I would imagine your standalone harness with the fan relay built in will already be set up to be triggered by the ECU fan output (that seems like the whole point right? haha) so you should just have to see if the fan relay puts out positive or negative and wire your fan relays accordingly.
If you do decide to go the Mark VIII route, I took a bunch of pictures of how I did the mounting and whatnot in mine and could shoot them over to you.
I think the last one I used was a DCC controller...and it was advertised as a "high amp" controller. Controllers don't matter anymore because my PIMPxs will control the fan, among other things, when I install it.have you tried the FAL 33054 controller or the DCC controller? Both are soft start up and I have used both with this fan and no issues.
I assume you are using the derail or other type of relay controller correct?? if so the wire on the Stinger labeled FAN will hook up to where the thermostat used to. the thermo switch just grounded when it got to temp, the MS will ground the wire when the conditions are set as well.
Right now I'm controlling the fan manually with a toggle switch. So I just grounded that wire. The fan works.I assume you are using the derail or other type of relay controller correct?? if so the wire on the Stinger labeled FAN will hook up to where the thermostat used to. the thermo switch just grounded when it got to temp, the MS will ground the wire when the conditions are set as well.
