So I have been looking to rework my Taurus electric fan conversion as I can't seem to find the replacement wiring that came stock on this bad boy. I never have been able find the correct amp draw for the mid 90's two speed fans O I went looking again to no avail. While looking I did come across a two speed fan out of a 2012 Hyundia I believe it was from a Santa Fe ( not sure as the fan was on the ground but had the connector, three wire and the wiring appears to be at least 10 gage. It appears to be thinner than the Taurus fan so clearance should not be an issue. Checked the Hyundia forums and found a video showing how to check the fan operation but that is for that vehicle, but the relays are 40 amp low speed and 50 amp high speed. I'm thinking that hooking up the high speed to my switching would work if I can find the correct switch mount with wiring to handle the current draw. Finding a thermal controller to handle the 40 amp side may be another issue as the original swap I did was on a 30/40 amp and I understand that the Ford two speed pulls a lot more than the relay and controller can handle.

So has anyone that did the electric fan swap had any success with any other fans? Controller set ups? Not finding quite what I need to do this over again. I have even contemplated putting the OEM clutch fan back on.

Probably a bit of a different animal, but the e-fan was a nonstop problem in my 22r. Best setup was with a black magic soft start controller and a bung welded into the top of the radiator for temp probe. Fan flow at high rpm didn't seem to match stock fan.

Thanks for the input. I really did not have any issues with the fan itslf, it has been with the controller. I will look into the soft start controller. Still considering the Hyundia fan as it seems to be flater than the Taurus fan.

Electric fans might serve for a mall crawler, but the effectiveness and reliability of a factory fan and shroud are near impossible to equal.

Hmmm...I think this is the one I was running. Looks like it is rated for 45 amps. https://flex-a-lite.com/variable-spe...re-sensor.html
