Electric fan Relay

[Ray Smith]

Hi all,

I am about to fit an electric fan, my question is, what is the preferred location for a relay I was going to fit onto the existing metal board behind the parcel shelf, but not enough room as I have used space in bottom R/H corner for electric aerial controller. (the thermostatic controller I intend to put in engine bay near the rad) Thanks in anticipation.

Mine is in front of rad, cable tied to nearside headlamp wires (tucked up out of way of ingress).

Hi Ray,

that's my solution: Fan_Relays.jpg

If I were you I would try and keep the high load cable to a minimum so have it up near the fan somewhere so pretty much what the others have said

Hi Ray, Mine is basically the same as Gerds.

Hi i'm just about to fit one. Taken the middle section of the grill out and there's plenty of room, but will need to make up a couple of brackets. Mounting the sensor on the front by the bonnet stay. Sounds obvious but what temp do I set the thermostat at?. Jonathon

If I remember correctly, on the Kenlowe it had 'N' for normal. I have a sensor in the rad so don't have a thermostat now as such.

Hi All, thanks to Jeff, Gerd, Stagdad, Ian A. Installation successful, also wired in hardtop backlight switch as manual override. When finished noticed water leak around filler neck so rad out on Monday for resoldering.
