Re: Cooling Fan Failure.

I realize I will probably never change your mind but I really do 
believe that the set up I discussed is far superior to the OEM 
setup. I have just seen the positive results on too many cars. To be 
clear, I am NOT recommending running the fans at ALL times, just 
always when the AC is turned on. On a typical window-down-day the 
fans will rarely cycle, as usual. The electrical system will 
absolutely run hotter and at higher loads with the fans cycling with 
the AC compressor verses running at all times. Even the Zilla unit 
will have less load and heat when the system is set this way. Try 
it. The OEM fans start with a usual 18 amps each and run at 
approximately 11 amps each. It is the seven start amps for each 
motor that creates the extra heat. Those 7 amps for each motor are 
hard on all the electrical system and the motors and the brushes. If 
the AC system is low on charge or it is just a cooler day with a 
bright sun heating up the interior of the car, the fans could cycle 
3 or 4 times a minute. Again, that is a big strain on the fan 
motors, relays, and connections, just everything. Much more strain 
with OEM compared to just drawing 11 amps continuously for the same 
minute. Less heat generated too.
