Hello everyone!
I just bought one of the original members' trucks (98 Tacoma V6 4WD auto). It has high miles, but runs great, and I have faith in Toyota reliability
I just put in a Flexalite electric fan (220 kit) last night, and it seems to work well. I followed one of the install guides on the net.
Here's the problem..
I used a fuse tap to tap intot he fuse labelled "A/C" on the fuse box to kick on the fans when the AC is run.. BUT, this seems to kick on the fans ANYTIME the interior vent fans are turned on whether or not the AC is on.
Am I tapping into the wrong place- do you guys tap another fuse, or tap into the AC clutch power itself?
Overall, the install wasn't too bad. I put the probe in the lower hose as some of the guys did (makes some sense to me- fans kick on when the radiator fails to cool fully), and the hose area was leaking a bit until I tightened the living poop out of it. It seems to be okay now.
Thanks in advance for any tips on where to tap AC power!
