Leaking/smoking radiator

wow I should have looked over your work more better. So which wire is going to fans right now. I have the Blue to Fans. The white should be on the temp sensor. I need to now what that red wire on sensor is, is 12v power?

Your thing said Blue to fans, I have red to red, White goes to the red that goes to the firewall which I guess is the 12v ignition . Black to fire wall as ground

The there is black wire on back of the fans that goes to the battery and red wire on back of the fans to the temp sensor..

the temp sensor is not the fans. The temp sensor is part of the control.

 

[Wes Harden]

Where does the red Wire on the temp sensor go right now?

 

[TJ1978]

ok take the red ire from the temp sensor and replace that with a black wire to ground. tape up the red wire as I assume is either battery or keyed hot.

That red wire is on the fans I think it's the power wire and the black is ground

 

[TJ1978]

Where does the red Wire on the temp sensor go right now?

It's on the fans. That was how it was when I took out the old radiator. That red wire on back on the fans was/is connected to the temp sensor

 

[TJ1978]

Only two wires come off the fans, the red one and a black one... red was to temp sensor and black went to the battery.

 

[Wes Harden]

call me, if the fans were wired through the temp sensor the is no need for the relay. I am not sure if the sensor can handle the amp draw from the fans

 

[Wes Harden]

my wiring solution wont be right with fans through the temp sensor

 

[TJ1978]

It was working fine for 6 years until it all fure went bad and the one price melted a bit hahahahaha.

I don't see why I can't just mimic t where the new wires were before with the ones. The only difference is the old one had a green and this new one has a black one. Both would have the middle wire cut off.

 

[TJ1978]

Take the old one and put the wires into the same place and connection as the old one...

 

[Wes Harden]

cant say i am not sure ho it was wired before. doesn't make sense to me why there would be a relay, if the sensor is wired straight to fans

 

[TJ1978]

.. how it was wired originally

 

[Wes Harden]

what is fire wall relay ?

 

[TJ1978]

Wired to this thing with the yellow wires

 

[Wes Harden]

that is a fuse, and I am guessing that wire spliced in is battery hot

 

[TJ1978]

that is a fuse, and I am guessing that wire spliced in is battery hot

Yes... I think you're correct. So, can I just mimic this set up with the new wires etc?

So it would be black to ground instead of blue and blue to the fans and snip the yellow wire

yellow wire here says fan, is that the temp sensor at rad ?

 

[Wes Harden]

not sure yet still foggy to me. maybe I need to draw it out.

Yes temp sensor my mistake
