4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to install your dual electric fan relay kit. Ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected before beginning any electrical work.

4.1 Wiring Instructions

  1. Connect the RED wire to the 12VDC Positive Battery Terminal.
  2. Connect the COFFEE wire to the Fan Positive terminal.
  3. Connect the BLACK wire to the Ignition source.
  4. Connect the GREY wire to the Sending Unit.
  5. Ensure the thermostat switch is properly grounded through its threads to the engine. The engine itself must also be grounded for the system to function correctly.
  6. If installing high-profile fans, it is recommended to crimp or solder larger gauge wires to accommodate higher amperage draw, as the included 14AWG wires (rated for 15 amps) may not be sufficient.

4.2 Thermostat Switch Installation

The thermostat switch has a 3/8" NPT pipe thread. A 1/2" adapter is included for compatibility with different ports. Install the thermostat switch into a suitable port on your engine or radiator system where it can accurately measure coolant temperature.

5. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the Ronybuy Dual Electric Fan Relay Kit operates automatically based on engine temperature:

  • The electric cooling fans will turn ON when the engine coolant temperature reaches 185°F (85°C).
  • The electric cooling fans will turn OFF when the engine coolant temperature drops to 175°F (79°C).

The relays are designed to be waterproof, allowing them to function reliably in various environmental conditions.

6. Maintenance

The Ronybuy Dual Electric Fan Relay Kit is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks are recommended to ensure continued optimal performance:

  • Wiring Inspection: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Ensure all terminals are securely fastened.
  • Fuse Check: If the fans are not operating, check the 20 Amp fuses in the inline fuse holders. Replace with fuses of the same rating if blown.
  • Grounding: Verify that the thermostat switch and engine grounds remain secure and free of corrosion. A poor ground connection can prevent proper operation.
  • Relay Condition: While the relays are waterproof, ensure they are mounted in a location that minimizes direct exposure to extreme elements or physical damage.

7. Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Fans do not turn on.
  • Thermostat switch not grounded.
  • Engine not grounded.
  • Blown fuse.
  • Loose wiring connection.
  • Incorrect wiring.
  • Ensure thermostat threads are making good contact with a grounded engine component.
  • Verify engine has a solid ground connection to the chassis/battery.
  • Check and replace 20 Amp fuses if necessary.
  • Inspect all wire connections for tightness and proper contact.
  • Review the wiring diagram (Figure 4.1) and re-check all connections.
Fans turn on but do not cool effectively (for high-profile fans).
  • Insufficient wire gauge for high amperage draw.
  • If using high-profile fans, ensure the wiring is of sufficient gauge (e.g., 12AWG for 20 Amps, 10AWG for 30 Amps, 8AWG for 40 Amps) to handle the current draw. The included 14AWG wires are rated for 15 amps.
Fans run continuously or do not turn off.
  • Faulty thermostat switch.
  • Thermostat switch not properly installed or sensing temperature correctly.
  • Test the thermostat switch for proper operation.
  • Ensure the thermostat switch is fully threaded and making good contact with the coolant.
