Default Del sol AC fan vs Radiator fan

Bought a 1994 Del Sol S.

didn't come with ANY fans. bought both the AC and the radiator fan. I found the AC fan wires and hooked it up. The AC fan works with the AC on.

Now I just need to hook up the radiator fan, but I don't see anymore connectors or loose wires.

Need help wiring it up. The AC fan wires were blue w/black stripe and black which came out of the AC relays on the driver's side engine bay. What colors and where are the 2 radiator fan wires?

You sure there's no connectors? Maybe right by the reservoir.

ok did some searching and found this picture. looks like the 12v is the black/red and the ground is black.

I found these color wires in my body harness but with no connector and it looks like they're running straight to the AC relay. should i just splice them to the rad fan?

The top picture (post 5) is indeed the radiator fan connector.

Default Re: Del sol AC fan vs Radiator fan

so i guess what i'm trying to say is that the del sol I bought was missing both the AC and rad fan connectors.

The AC fan wires were dangling loosely so i spliced them up with the AC fan.

The RAD fan wires run from the RAD fan relay (located in a fuse box under the hood on the top left side of engine bay) to another relay behind the driver side headlight with no split offs.

so should i split if off?

Ron will probably post a wiring diagram in a moment.

The Blk/Red wire provides voltage to the fan connector via the fan relay in the hood fuse box.

The Blk wire provides ground to the fan connector by running to the G201 ground attached to the chassis.

I'm painfully predictable.

Thanks Ron. I did find the black/red wire but the black/red wire has no connector on it.

it runs from the RAD FAN relay straight to the AC condenser fan relay.



i did try to splice the black/red wire with the fan wire 12v wire and ground the fan correctly. I also jumped the fan switch but the fan didn't come on with the key at the "on " position.

still can't get RAD FAN to come on. (RAD FAN is new, AC fan is new, RAD FAN switch new, RAD FAN relay new.)

Here is what the black/red wire route looks like (in the red tracing)

the green circle is where i jumped the connector.

Question on the A/C fan. I removed the condenser fan to fit my turbo. I have a pusher fan on that side. Can I wire that to the stock harness, will it turn on with the A/C pulled on the car? I do have a FAL puller on the radiator side. I was thinking it might be a good idea for those extra hot days here in FL. If I set my ecu to turn the fan on just above what the coolant temp switch operates at it should kick on right? Everything up til now has been rigged just to get the car to the track for an event back in the day. I would like to wire the fans back to how they should be and having the pusher operating without a/c would be a nice backup to have. Don't want to hook both up to the same relay, since it probably won't handle the amp draw well at all.
Thanks in advance.

Radiator fan needs a relay in the fusebox.

I realize that, which is why I wired it back to the stock harness. My question was more in regard to the A/C side. will the condenser fan turn on without A/C installed I see A/C sensor and ECU on the same Blue/red wire. I posted this last night but seems to not be here today.
