Hybrid_From_Hell Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Finally the fans work : The weekend started and a few hours into it I had this nightmare at Chez Kittyhell: A stupid number of hours later (like ALL weekend) saw it virtually finished (need to get a few bits) : Battery Front runs engine rear runs fans, Blue wires are the fans sepeately wired into realys and fuse box, blacks (centre entry) are the earths for the relays : The fuse box and relay box are saved from the old Hybrid with new connectors etc, and the fans are wired sepeartely with 2x 30 amp fuses on the relay side and 5 amp on the power to the relay, all mounted nice and high behind the pass seat. Also connected the ARB relay into the box (bottom) and will sort out some of the other bits later (car phone kit fuse etc) This saves cutting into the 90 harness which is all ok and sound (wish the same could be said for the EFI Harness maybe ) : Power for relays taken from rear wash wipe fuse : Fans connected through waterproof plug, needs to be zippy tied into place : I have earthed the Fans to the Metal surround, this is bolted to ali generally, should I take an extra earth to the chassis ???... seems ok at the mo ??? And the switches cut and mounted (IP67 waterproof) into the front of the cubby box ON 1= ON all the times + light on Off ON 2 = wired through thermostat switch in rad + light on when on Both thus wired completely sepeartely, and yes it did my head in working out All works...with the Vents and rad clear of number plates and such like boy does it move the air out ! Now, if I could just sort that elusive here yesterday and gone today misfire Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 nice job nige, rather dissappoint all your wires aren't colour coded to your bodywork though i guess u can primer them all now they're in place. wired up twin fans at the weekend into a series, i did rather chop out alot of extra wiring before adding my own i just hope the rest of the wiring still works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandyManLuke Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I ran a seperate earth, I've got one fan but it draws a large current, i'd expect yours would too. No point fitting nice fans if a potential earth fault will hinder their performance in the future. Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Nice job Nige - seeing the EFi harness stuffed in there reminds me how much I don't like your idea of buying a new one Also reminds me how much stock LR wiring sucks.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Which of those two batteries does the winch run from?[/retires to a safe distance] Simon The front battery, This supplies 'a few amps' the the engine which goes to drive the PTO (about 280 BHP 'Motor') which is then connected to the winch Seems to work quite well, battery doesn't seem to suffer from high amps draw Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
