1992-2002 New spin on the old fan Radiator Fan Control Kit… Now fully adjustable!

[Sean Roe]

Hi Everyone,
As some of you may know, we’ve been making the radiator fan control kits for the Viper since my GTS puked coolant in a parking lot after running hard in 1999. That was my first clue that the fan stopped when the engine shut off, which certainly didn’t help with the heat that was soaking into the coolant from the exhaust manifolds and areas around the heads.
Several hundred fan kits later, we’ve made an upgrade to the kit, just in time for the hot summer months.
Our tried and true Radiator Fan Control kit has always featured a heavy duty relay, 12 gauge power wires, 40 amp fuse, high temperature loom, harness lengths built specifically for the model year the kit is going on, all installation connectors and supplies with detailed instructions. The purpose prior was to cycle the fan on and off after the engine was shut off hot so that boiling didn’t occur in the cylinder heads, causing loss of fluid and air pockets in the heads (compounding the temperature problem).
We’ve improved the functionality of the kit, adding the ability to set the fan “on” temperature when the engine is running while retaining the after run cycling to cool the motor. The new system is user / installer set and works extremely well. Installation time is still about 25 to 30 minutes. Once installed, you’ll run the engine until it gets to the temperature you want the fan to come on at and set the switch. We supply a recommended setting based on testing multiple vehicles. The fan will shut off at 12 degrees lower than the activation point. Once the hot engine is shut off, the fan will cycle short periods on and off, allowing the heat transfer to take place that cools the entire engine (not just the radiator or front of the engine).
The new kit is priced at an introductory $89. If you have an older version of the fan kit, you can send it in and we’ll update it with the new components and instructions for $55 (plus S&H as applicable). The kit comes with a 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee and we’ve increased the warranty to one year from date of purchase!.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
We’re actually working on several new products right now.

That sounds like a great kit Sean, as I've been using the early kit here in Texas since right after I bought the car.

But removing mine to modify it does not sound like something I want to do. I spent a little more than the suggested 30 minutes installing mine, and would not want to remove it. As I have a previous career in military avionics, and can wire to NASA specs, how about a field service update kit for the DIY?

Sean,
Sounds like the mod everyone should have that has a fan kit.
I am with Dave, (" ..... how about a field service update kit for the DIY"), mine is all wire loon installed, and of course I need it now that we have some hot weather here in the Northwest (yes 85-90 deg.)

Just my thought, and Dave's.

Later,

I'm gonna get one when I get home, sounds like a great mod.

I got the first one and it has already been installed. Works like a charm and I love it! Neater installation and very easy to use.

Very "cool"

Yes, I can work out a retro kit to modify the older ones. I'll figure out the cost tomorrow.

BigViper, it's new, so don't fell too bad. To diagnose yours, first, check the fuse. If good (and there), jump the two leads on the temperature sensor. Does the relay click (it should). If it clicks, but the fan doesn't come on, check your dark green wire connection into the factory harness. Applying 12V to that wire runs the fan. If it works in the tests, you may just not be getting it up to temperature (as in, maybe the hood is up?). I can make you an update kit too if you'd like. How about free shipping to help with the fact that you recently installed an older style kit? How recently did you buy it (or email me your name and I'll look up your invoice)?

Regards,
Sean

When I installed mine a few weeks ago, I thought it wasn't working, too, but that was just because the temp. didn't get hot enough to start the fans. I checked the connections by jumping the leads on the sensor and the fan started right up, and since then, it has gotten hot enough to run the fan after shutdown (it starts a few min. later).

Im with Dave and Rucdr I purchased the 2 fan kits for my 94 and 02 from you a couple of months ago. it took longer than 30 min for me too. I made a very nice clean instal and do not want to mess my conections.

Will the fan still come on with the air conditioner after the kit is installed?

[RTED]

I was fortunate to be a test subject for this upgraded kit from Sean late last year. I can tell you that the upgraded fan kit works just as Sean has described. This upgrade gives you the best of all worlds. Had the car out this evening in 90+ degree city driving and the temp guage never went past 195. Easy to install, and fully adjustable with the turn of a knob. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

Yes. All factory functions still work.

Installation of the new kit is a bit quicker than the previous one (for me, by about 5 minutes).
