- This video shows how to easily wire an electric radiator fan circuit into any car. This fan wiring diagram includes a fan relay, a temperature switch, and a manual on/of switch that can be used to manually turn on the fan whenever you want. This radiator fan wiring circuit is great when building a hotrod, muscle car, or anytime that you're swapping from a clutch fan to an electric fan.
The Electric Radiator Fan Relay Wiring:
- Pin 30 (Red) 12v input from battery through circuit breaker
- Pin 86 (Black) 12v power feed from ignition switch
- Pin 87 (Red) 12v relay output sending power to the fan
- Pin 85 (Brown) Ground, goes to temperature switch and on/of switch
- Pin 87A Not Used

Can you help me with a simple project idea
Where can I buy this box
i follow the diagram. but the 1 thing problem is coming cold the sensor not coming off the fan
if you have a 1 pin temp sensor how you wire it to your gauge on your dash board so you can see it on your dash with a 1 pin temp sensor?

I’ve never watched a more put together and professional video on this topic
Wow! Thank you! I really appreciate it! Hopefully it helps out a lot of fellow gearheads!
He got his tricks from his father 🫡 very intelligent man.
Hi,
I’ve just read yr question. I have just released video where I wire straight to a cigie.
Have a look and let me know what you think.

Most importantly it's free😂😂😂😂
😂 lmao right
Working on vehicles all my life, I’ve never imagined a complete circuit laid out on a board. It’s pretty neat. Thanks for a perfectly explained video.
That’s super kind! I really appreciate that!

After having my radiator fan bust up my radiator after breaking off its mount I am upgrading from a pulley fan to an electric fan while I replace my radiator and this was exactly what I needed to help make sure I had not missed anything when installing it. Amazing work, helping people out even a year later!
Heck yeah! Sorry your radiator got trashed! But I’m glad the video helped you out! Thanks for watching!
This vid should be taught in schools, it’s perfect
Thanks! I always wanted to be a teacher, but I think I can actually teach even more people from the comfort of my own home using CZcams. Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly I appreciate your professionalism and clarity on explaining this 'HOW-TO!!" After watching this video, I have no idea how anyone can mess it up. THANK YOU🤘🤘
Awesome! That’s really kind. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more wiring videos!
Trust me their are people who can still screw it up ..that's life in the mechanical world ..
I did somehow. I followed the video to a T, and it still is not working. I’m about to rip it all out and start over.

Hi Sir you have explained how everything is wired up & some guys use pin 86 as ground & pin 85 as power on the 12volt Relay & I tested the 12volt 100Amp waterproof Relay & I followed your wiring the same way as you have Sir pin 86 Pin as power & pin 85 as ground on the relay & it works really well indeed & I tested it with a led light bulb & later on I will get an 12Volt radiator electric cooling fan unit & has 2500CFM with a 90 watt electric fan motor & so should work really well to & the radiator electric cooling fan unit will be installed inside the radiator & will have straight fan blades as you get better air flow than curved electric fan blades & radiator electric cooling fans that are installed in front of the radiator don't get better cooling than a radiator electric cooling fans that are installed inside the radiator as the engine & engine components get by far better cooling when radiator electric cooling fan units are installed inside the radiator & I have seen on Utube some of the guys have installed the radiator electric cooling fan units have installed them in the front of the radiator & one particular Utube channel has installed a very big radiator electric cooling fan unit & has installed in the front of the radiator & because he couldn't install it inside the radiator as there was no room to install the electric fan unit & having unit probably could get cooling but the is a smaller radiator electric cooling fan unit installed at the front of the radiator & probably wouldn't get that much cooling as it would be installed inside the radiator & probably also didnt have the room to install the electric fan unit that I'm getting will be inside the radiator & the 14"inch fan should work really well to & having 2500CFM air flow should keep everything nice & cool for the Toyota 3.4V6 engine & doing away with the clutch fan unit Kind Regards Peter & have a Lovely Nice Christmas Day Sir
If more people explained wiring like this, a lot less people would be intimidated by electrical circuits on their vehicle.
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to watch the video! I appreciate it!
This is EXACTLY what I needed to know! You're a great teacher! Keep those videos coming, my friend!
Thank you! If you keep watching, I’ll keep making new ones!

I agree with last comment. Been up till 6am searching for info on the override switch and here it is! WOW!Now I can sleep til 2PM get up CMA and go to work.
Thanks! Great clear to the point video😃
That’s amazing! I’m glad you found the video useful! Thanks for watching!
I was doing a random search on the electrical side of the cooling system and found your excellent presentation as I was about to give up. Needless to say, I've subscribed. Because you've not only clarified a suspicion I had, you've also taught me enough to go through the circuit in a logical way. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!
That’s fantastic! Thank you for watching and subscribing! If you liked this one, I have many more you may find entertaining!
Fantastic video! Great diagram and thorough explanation of everything. I’ve watched 4-5 videos on the subject and was still lost. 1 play through of this and I’m confident in my new knowledge. Great job!
That’s awesome! I’m glad you found the video helpful!

Thank you. This is the best and most understandable wiring schematic without any unneeded filler information I’ve ever seen.
me and my stepdad were just looking at this setup on our 1980 cj7 and this makes things so much easier to comprehend. Thank you
Thank you sir. Very well explained, a clear presentation with great visual aids and with demonstration. This has helped me understand my cooling fan system that I am fault diagnosing on my Kawasaki ZZR 100 C.
Best explanation on CZcams, hands down. Thanks!!
Thank you! I appreciate it! If you like this, you may also enjoy some of my other wiring videos! Thanks for watching!
Thank you sir. Great simplified demonstration!
Clear, concise & to the point. You make the understanding of this subject extremely easy & enjoyable.

Thank you Rick! I’m glad you liked the video!
Man i appreciate all of your diy videos they are easy to follow and great in detail. Thanks for the time and effort you put in.
Wow! Thank you! I really appreciate that! Thank you for watching!!
Your wiring videos are the best on the web. Simple and elegant.
Thank you! If you keep watching, I’ll keep making them!
Probably one of the best(not seen them all) descriptions and displays of how to wire up an after market fan. VERY well explained and demonstrated...Cheers..
Been looking for a how to make dual fans work off one switch and all I came up with was using the cars relay to power both fans.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate the help!! I had no clue you could just buy a dang ole temp switch 🤦🏻♂️
Super thanks
THANK YOU!!!
You have explained how to accomplish this in layman's terms, without making me (us) feel stupid. Bravo!
Excellent! I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Awesome demonstration! I am not watching to gain the knowledge for automotive reasons (although now I know), instead I am searching for a clever no-solder solution to the always on tiny 24v cooling fan for the hotend of my 3D Printer. Your simple explanation of how relay circuits work really helped in figuring out the different hardware, how they interact, & how to wire it WITH A BYPASS to boot! Thanks again! 😊
Heck yes! That sounds awesome. 3D printing is something I’d love to get into, but I just haven’t dropped the cash yet!
This has always mystified me and you just made it crystal clear in 8 minutes. Thank you!!!! 🙏
This is the best explanation of this on CZcams. Laying out on the board like that was inspired! Thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to put this tutorial together. It's simple and easy to understand. Much appreciated.👍👍
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching! I appreciate that!
Just subscribed! Very well explained. You made it look so simple. Thank you
Awesome! I greatly appreciate it and I’m glad you liked the video!! I have tons more of you find yourself bored!
3 years ago my truck caught fire because of a pretty bad wiring work. I decided not to give up on her and worked hard to bring her back to life... and I succeeded mechanically speaking. However, I had been always scared of dealing with electricity and wires because nobody was patient enough to explain things to me like if I was a 5 yes old kid... that was until I found your channel. Thanks to you I was not only able to completely wire my rig - rock crawler - but I have now understood the reasons behind every connection... Honestly, I cannot find the proper words which can emphasize my deep appreciation and gratitude to you... Thank you for sharing your knowledge...
That is incredibly awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It totally made my day! I’m glad you and others are finding my videos helpful! Thank you so much for watching and hopefully my videos continue to help keep the cool projects going!
Perfect! I wired mine up last night, minus the temp sensor. I added it along with my clutch fan. Since I have a temp sensor with a gauge, I will only activate the electric fan when it reaches 185 degrees. Other than that I will rely on my trusty, old faithful clutch fan! Thanks for such a detailed diagram!
Sounds awesome! Congrats on your cooler engine!
Thanks for posting this!!! Really appreciate your professional demo board. Sure makes it easier to understand how all that wiring ect comes together. My 67 Mustang 460 big block has two push fans with relays and no manual toggle switch. It was overheating at the car show the other day. It was like 98 outside. I want to add manual toggle switch to turn it on before it get too hot. I run two relays, I assume on for each fan.? Wish me luck. Cheers from Motown.
That’s really cool! Fun demo. 👍
Thanks Andy!! I’m getting a lot of really positive feedback on these wiring videos!
From today u remain my teacher....love this
Im happy that I can be a small part of the education system! Thanks for watching!
Such a great explaination. Top notch!
Literally exactly what I needed to know for my car project. Thank you so much!

This was a much needed relay lesson I was never taught that I needed in my life. Thank you very much for your physical diagram of actual items display, made learning easy and fun.
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it! And I'm glad you like the videos!
Thank you, I appreciate you taking your time to teach those of us that dont have this knowledge of how to to this but want to. Really helped me understand the wiring. Much appreciated.
That’s awesome! I’m glad that people are enjoying these wiring videos! I appreciate you taking the time to watch! :)
THANK YOU! It makes all makes sense now.
Thank you for the video!
2 questions. What would cause the relay to fail?
How critical is the circuit breaker?
Relays fail if they are in harsh environments (hot/cold/wet), old, or if they are handling more electricity than what they are rated for. They also have a lifespan too, which is often listed with them online.
A circuit breaker or fuse is necessary. People like circuit breakers for fans because they draw a lot of amperage when they start, and then don’t draw nearly as much when they are running. Sometimes fuses have a tough time managing that and you need to run a bigger fuse or a slow burning one.
OUTSTANDING, CLEAR & TO THE POINT. GREAT A thru Z😊
You are now amongst my very few notifications.
Thanks, JS
Awesome! I’m humbled to know that people like the content that I make :) thank YOU for watching!
Keep them coming you do a great job with electrical wiring which you make it seem very simple It’s kinda like water flowing through a pipe.
I love the manual override switch, I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks, very educational 👍
My Civic 2006 has 2 temp sensors, 1 in the radiator & 1 in the thermostat housing. Going to try changing the rad sensor as the fans aren’t switching off.
Wow best demonstration of the circuit ive ever seen..... Just what i needed to wire up things correctly.... thanks man 🎉
Excellent clarity on the subject matter.
This is a fantastic video.
It is very clear, and well laid out.
I have always had a mental block, when it comes to electrical systems.
