I didn't zip tie mine to the radiator but as tight as it is from the clutch to the shroud it's not moving. I did put a harness anchor into the shroud to hold the harness and then zip tied it to the upper hose. I also redid the ECT sensor wiring. I'll try to get a picture and post it after the sun comes up.

I should know I have a set for my fan control project that I put on
the back burner for now. Here is the test box with the plugs.

I made it to see what the amp draw of the clutch is and to see
how I could come up with a small device to let the driver override
the PCM control of the fan without giving the PCM a headache

BTW here is a photo of the FSS output

The project is on the back burner for now do to other things right now.

Wow Yahiko, it's a good thing you are using your skills for good and not evil. I would be interested in a black box that allows me to ramp my fan var up with a flip of switch or something.

well Sean I think it would be Great to Override that Fan Sometimes

Fact I just wanted mine to Ramp Up RPM alittle sooner then mine does

My Fan Don't really start to incress RPM till ECT of 218*f So If Im climbing a Hill Hard I can Get ECT to 220- 221*f Quick Before the fan Takes Affect

My Plan was to get a Tunner one day and Have that be part of the Tune to Have the Fan Pickup RPM At 215*f ECT

But if you figure something else out I could give it a Shot!!

That is the idea, I would even go to the point of
some added electronics so that you could tell it
how much and when.
But I think an updated tune would do the same.
