Newbie Issues...Engine Bay Cool Down Methods

[Leroy Eckert]

Ron:
Question please on the fans.
Did you use two relays, a single relay or run the power through the switch. I
presume the fans are 16" Hayden or equivalent which draw about 15 amps each.
Thanks

A few of us here in Texas have installed 12V electric radiator fans on
the passenger side of the engine compartment, blowing back over the
engine and through the radiator to aid in the cooldown of that area.
It really helps a lot. I installed a switch next to the fan that I
turn on when I shut the engine off. I let it run for 15 to 30 minutes
after shutdown.
