So as soon as you start the car the fan would spin until you turn it off. What do you guys think? Thanks Dudes Umm... why do you want to do this??!! I'm converting my mech fans to elec, and one of the benefits is that the electric fan will only be on when it needs to be. This means the engine will warm up more quickly (A Good Thing i belive), and the fan is only using power when it has to be on. The problem with mech fans is that they are on all the time (even clutched ones), whether they need to be or not. If I wired the elec fan to be on all the time, there would be more power losses than the mech fan in the first place. I think if you needed your fans to be on all the time - liek you were somehwere really hot - the thermatic switch would have them on all the time anyway [Report message to a moderator]
