Taurus Fan Swap

[89GrandMarquis]

If you don't mind 89Grandmarquis would you get me a link to that Kit from autozone? I think for now I'll just wire it to a normaly switch and run it like Deuce is for now. Doesn't matter much since the car isn't on the road and doesn't see a lot of run time right now.

Check out the 88/90 2.3 mustangs they have a electric fan at least my old one did you could use the wiring and the temp sending unit from that and just hook it up in your car with the newer fan. It dont hurt to try it

I looked into doing something like this, but actually using the Taurus controller. They have tie-ins with the ECM and the speed sensors and all sorts of BS. Maybe the Mustang ones are different but I doubt it. More trouble than its worth.

I have now Jason, thanks. Looks like I may need to do the 3G Alt. swap?

I would suggest it very much. The stock 65 amp jobbie is barely sufficient anyway, add to that a 15-20 amp draw for a fan on low and you're in serious trouble. The stock alternators have horrible idle speed output too, and thats when you'd really need it for traffic. The 3g on my car holds 14.65 volts at idle with all the lights, etc turned on.
