Installing Dual Fans...

Are the dual fan set-up on 2 different relays or do they tie in together?
I have a dual fan set up and I want to put them in my 91 Formula.
Not sure how to wire it up??

Thanks

Can I run them together on 1 relay from the same sensor?

Im kind of confused on how I run them? It gets hot here in Texas and I think daul fans will help me keep it cooler, that and Ive got them so I might as well use them!!

Thanks

you can...... but it won't last that long at all. i literally burned my relay and wiring doing it that way. not a pretty site. i strongly disrecommend this method.

Thanks for the info, that kills that plan.
How do I run 2 relays off 1 temp. sender? I have a sending unit that kicks on at 160 or 170.

Thanks for your help!

you can wire both F terminals to that switch, i believe, w/o a problem. piggy back the new relay F term. to the old fan switch wire. the switch simply provides a ground for the relay when it reaches it's designed temperture.
