High Speed Engine Cooling Fan Relay

The cooling fan relay takes the low voltage signal and internally switches the relay â œonâ to allow battery voltage to be supplied to the radiator cooling fan.

High speed engine cooling fan relay.

The relay will usually be activated once it is detected that the vehicle s temperature approaches excessively high temperatures. The function of the cooling fan relay is to convert a low voltage signal from either the electronic control module ecm or a thermostatically controlled sensor. Or a failure of the fan relay or control circuit. When the fan is on too often or won t come on at all a new relay may be the solution.

The cooling fan relay is the relay that controls the engine s cooling fans. A larger radiator a larger clutch fan and a shroud would probably keep your engine cool. It basically runs two fans in series for low speed and then put s each on it s own 12v circuit for high speed. The engine cooling fan only runs when needed to help cool the engine.

Usually use a cooling fan. The cooling fan relay is the relay that controls the engine s cooling fans. When the correct parameters are met a temperature switch or the computer will activate the relay which will allow power to the fans. Most fans should come on when the coolant reaches about 200 to 230 degrees.

I hope this video will. Using a mechanical fan for a high horsepower application can work just fine if a couple of things are considered. In the 07 12 model the high speed relay was behind the driver side headlight. In the 2012 the relay was relocated next to the master cylinder along the driver side of the engine bay.

Mechanical fans can sometimes work better than electric fans. If your cooling fan runs all the time or not at all or if your engine runs hot it might be time to replace your cooling fan motor or relay. The new relay setup is a dual relay and i found the one that i needed to replace was on the left of the two closest to the cab. So a engine cooling fan failure.

The relay controls when the fan turns on and off based on coolant temperature. While monitoring the cooling fan the ecm detected a high speed condition. When the correct parameters are met a temperature switch or the computer will activate the relay which will allow power. The fan runs mostly at idle or low speed when the engine is at normal temperature.
