Ford Taurus electric fan owners
« on: March 26, 2006, 07:40:09 AM »
I was at Princess Auto in Calgary yesterday and they have a bin full of what appears to be brand new two speed Taurus fan motors. There was no price but I imagine they are cheaper than anywhere else. They are located in an aisle near the back of the store along with the other misc. auto electrical junk like wiper motors, fuse boxes etc.

I'm 99% certain they are the exact same as the motor I had on my old setup, it even has the Seimens label on it.

Thanks Vince.

Picked up the last 4. Not sure when I'd gettem for 19$ again so grabbed a few :D .

Only difference is the end plug which will be an easy splice.

Good job Bill, you got 4 for about half of what I paid for 1 new fan.

No kiddin. And since we are switching Denise's over right away, I figured a spare or two at that price wasnt a bad idea.

Got a good place to recommend getting the controller from? I grabbed a shroud and fan out of a taurus at pnp for her tonight.

The controller I sold you came from Mopac, I believe it was about 80 bucks. They also have the same controller with a sensor that fits between the cooling fins of the rad or inserted between the rad hose and rad.

I used a thermostat controller from Mopac that goes inside your rad hose for 35 bucks. Just a cheapy but works fine. One trick I learned is to install the coolant probe in the bottom rad hose. The reason this is better than the top hose is that the fan will only run when is needs to which is hardly ever in my 4 cyl.  If you intall the probe in the top hose then the fan is running more cause that is the temp Leaving the engine (hotter). In the bottom hose the probe is sensing the temp going Into the engine which takes into consideration your speed (airflow) through the rad and how hard your driving at low speed.. hope that makes sence.

My fan never turns on while city and most off road driving. Also I set my fan to come on 10-15 degrees above my actuall 190 degree thermostat so that it is always open and my fan and/or driving speed regulate engine temp. Works great.

The only pain in the A$$ is getting the little tube for the probe to seal in where it goes into the rad hose. They give you a little gromet type thing but it's a pain to install and keep from leaking. Hose clamp needs to be very tight.
