ok, here's whats been built so far......





The three black leads are as follows....
Far left - PCM C1 #42
Middle - PCM C2 #33
Far right - Ground for harness

Red are as follows....
Far left - Left fan + side
Huge Middle - Battery +
Right - Right fan + side
Far right - Left fan - side.

The right fan - side will obviously go to ground. This is exactly as GM wires the fans in the trucks...check it out....



It pays to work for GM................

The only thing I am changing is the fuse locations....instead of 3 seperate ones, I will have one 40 amp fast blow on the batt + side. Or I could go through and re-pin the connectors on the relays for more wire length if I am feeling bored.....but probably wont.

Has anyone else tried to wire Efans this way? Doesn't HpTuners/EFI live have the option for 1 Aux Fan or 2 Fans?

I found this on EFI Live Forum

Link

I would really like to know how this is going. Updates???

Yes HPTuners has the 2 fan option, although I'm not sure every PCM will activate it. The option is there for my application however so I'm looking into a 2 pin activation setup.

the problem with the two pin setup is figuring in your fans to come on with the A/C. this could be figured in with a tap to the a/c turn on, blocking diode and another relay to switch polarity (a/c lead is positive)
