Great video, like the switch and inline fuse, but can't seem to find where to get them, appreciate a link or whatever direction you can provide on attaining them. Thanks!😊
all from advance auto parts. i’m sure any auto parts store would carry these. maybe not specifically the ones i got but a standard inline fuse is maybe $5 and the switch maybe $10
I’ve done some additional research and am halfway through doing this to my new edge 4.6. From what I understand, tapping into this wire is just completing a ground circuit. Could you confirm that to be correct? I can’t tell if it’s a work light you have in your car but for some reason, it looks like your switch is lighting up which keeps throwing me off.
that is correct, you are manually completing the circuit. just happens to be ground side controlled vs power side. as for my switch lighting up, i can’t fully explain that one as i am not sure either. a simple open/close switch does what’s intended here. potentially there’s voltage after the load that’s able to illuminate my switch? like i said i do not know how it does that. i simply have the wire shown in the video hooked up and my ground wire, if someone could explain that would be interesting.
good question. to my understanding, if there is some sort of problem or fault within the fan circuit, whether it be a component or the wiring, this will not bypass that issue. the only thing that comes to mind is.. let’s say the problem is that the pcm isn’t supplying power to this wire when it’s supposed to, you would technically be bypassing it and supplying it externally, but if that were the case, you would likely have many other issues. simple answer is most likely not, it would be best to address why your fans aren’t working in the first place. the reason behind doing this modification is to control when the high speed fans come on, assuming a good condition circuit/system
yep. it’s good but if i were to do it again i’d go FDF. i have no clue what im talking about but i’ve read things about bad suspension geometry with the kit.
yes. this video demonstrates the switch powering the fans at high speed. you would need to look at a wiring diagram and determine which wire you would need to splice into to control the low speed instead of high like i showed in the video
@@Tantobuds619 should lead you in the right direction. i would look into forums if you want to dive deeper in your research. a lot of the information i know is from reading what others have done in the past
go over it again and ensure you’re hooked up correctly. previous body style to new edge might have different wiring i’m not sure. this was done on a new edge body style
a little more input on your question, i talked about the pcm kicking the fans on themselves during the video and i can confirm the fans will still kick on, at the predetermined temps, if you don’t turn the switch on.
how’d you tap into the wire? did you use a razor blade to cut it open? like a very thin and small one? im about to do this exact same method after im off work you got any extra tips?
go buy some scotch lok’s. that’s what i used, showed it in the video. no need to strip back the wire, there’s a blade in the scotch lok that pierces the insulation and makes a connection
yep. i think high kicks on later at like 228 or something, don’t quote me. either way it was too high and that’s why i wanted to control when it kicked on.

I may be colorblind but my wire is green and black , would that be the same wire?

Will this work if my cooling fans aren’t working because of the fan resistor ? 01 GT

Very helpful video. I’m running a similar setup with the scotidi hydro, you run his angle kit too?
yep. it’s good but if i were to do it again i’d go FDF. i have no clue what im talking about but i’ve read things about bad suspension geometry with the kit.
@@mkvingti yeah fdf is the way. i just noticed the boost gauge, are you running stock engine internals?
yeah. have an on3 turbo kit on 10psi. nothing crazy
Could I run a switch to my low fan control or low fan condenser control from the pcm as well?
yes. this video demonstrates the switch powering the fans at high speed. you would need to look at a wiring diagram and determine which wire you would need to splice into to control the low speed instead of high like i showed in the video
@@mkvingti appreciate the feedback, I just purchased a factory Ford electrical and vacuum service book for my 95 probe gt so that should help!

What fans are you running
stock fans
I tried this and mine doesn’t turn on
go over it again and ensure you’re hooked up correctly. previous body style to new edge might have different wiring i’m not sure. this was done on a new edge body style
im thinking about doing this soon how’s it been after about a year yo?
still works as it should. good question lol

@@mkvingti that’s so cool thanks!
Would it be the same wire for a v6?
not sure to be honest
Have you had any issues with the fan running in normal mode?
No, it kicks on at 200° without using the switch
Take it that's the low fan kicking on at 200?
yep. i think high kicks on later at like 228 or something, don’t quote me. either way it was too high and that’s why i wanted to control when it kicked on.
