That's the normal fan circuit turned off and on by temp sensor. The other wire bypasses the resistor, it has power when A/C is on for high speed to both motors. Those two wires are spliced together somewhere in shroud wiring after the resistor so that both fans can go low speed or high speed at the same time, based on which relay (high or low) is activated. That's on '00 model.
Can you show me some kinda pic cause you got me lost.

venoms old whip is turbo? hmm.

The single FAL is worthless, don't care what cooling system it is.

It pulls less air than the factory fans on 'high'.

Go aftermarket(fal or spal) duals. Didn't realize it was being 'upgraded' because of a meltdown.

I used heatshroud and reflective tape on my factory fans so the turbo wouldn't cause a meltdown.

i have venom's old car. the original fans broke on him then we used zipties to hold them on. The heat from the turbo melted that and cause then to fall into the midpipe and melt. the car runs cold cause of the fluidye radiator. so half the time the fans never come on.


once i do this there will be a right up on how to do this for the future ppl
