Default Fans setup help

Dear Members,
We are putting LS1 fans on a carbureted vehicle. Want to skip the switches all together and run HIGH speed by having one constantly running through ignition and the second one come on with the AC. i understand the LS1 fans have two wires, one for high speed, one for low speed and no ground, how should we wire them with no ground? As mentioned, just want them on HIGH.
  • Thanks

You'll need a relay for each fan, running one straight through the ignition switch will burn out your switch pretty quickly. Wire one relay to come on when the ignition is on and the other one to come on when the A/C is on. Each fan will have a power and ground. Here's a quick drawing. You'll also need to fuse the circuits appropriately.

Why not get a 2 stage temperature probe and run the fans on temperature alone?

OP's in Qatar - I think running one all the time is the equivalent of running on "temperature alone." (chuckle)

2 seasons - summer and August. But it's a dry heat.
