Hey guys first time posting although I've gleamed a wealth of info from the site. I've got a 90 toyota pickup 22re I bought about 6 months ago an I've slowly been working the bugs out of it. It had a electric fan on it already (not sure what kind) but it was wired to run constantly. So I bought a cheap kit off amazon with the probe that inserts in the radiator. It didn't last long and just quit working so I bought a spal kit and mounted the thermostat in the upper radiator hose. It worked fine for a couple weeks and just quit. I checked all my connections the fuse and could find nothing wrong. So I bought another entire kit and replaced everything and it hasn't worked at all (same spal kit). I know the fan works (I ran a wire straight to the battery to make sure) but I'm about ready to just wire it up to a switch to be done with it but was gonna see if you guys could help. Thanks in advance!

 

Break out the meter and start testing.

Fuse open does it have it`s own fuse ??

Connected to a fused existing circuit??

Thermostats no longer working ??

Bad ground ??

Poor connection that has caused the circuit to open.

Return it to stock and be done.

 

The new kit I bought came with a new thermostat so I assume it's good it's only a few days old. I think the ground is good as the fan comes on when I wire it straight to the battery.

 

Put a stock clutch fan back on to it and be done with the electric fan issue. I tried the taurus fan swap a few years ago when it was popular on here and it could never keep my truck as cool as the stock fan could. The little power gain by not spinning the stock fan (which i never noticed) was not worth the time and money that would be needed to replace a head gasket from overheating.

 

Just because something is new out of the box does not mean it works!!!

Something is open on the voltage supply side of the circuit.

It is just a matter to find it.

 

Well I would put the stock fan back on if I had it. The electric fan was on the truck when I bought it.

 

this.

if you don't have the fan, buy one. you can usually find them cheap when someone is parting out a truck. my truck ran fine with the 22r-e, a/c, and 99-degree weather on the stock fan, no shroud

 

Every electric fan on any street legal vehicle was always a pain and got changed back to a stock set up.

The only one that was of any benefit was the one attached to the electric water pump back in my misguided Big Block Chevy drag car

You could let the water circulate to the engine cooled down.

*** I am sure I have the parts you need for the shipping cost if you can`t find them local. If your interested send me a PM
