Air con / cooling fans

Postby liteace » Tue Dec 05, 2017 9:12 pm

Anyone got a connect with aircon and twin cooling fans, if so do both fans work together on high and low speed for engine cooling and AC ?

Thanks

I have air con in mine, but has only a total of 1 fan! :?: Engine obviously does not get hot enough for it to come on during normal running as i have never heard it. Only springs into life when we have the odd very hot day, and i am using the Air con.

Thanks for the info, mine at the mo has not got aircon and was fitted with just the smaller fan with space for the larger fan in the housing left empty.

The van I've removed the all the AC from ready to fit to mine has the same fan housing but with both fans fitted.

So far I've fitted the AC rad, compressor and fan / housing, the existing wiring all plugs in OK, the small fan is working like it did before on both high and low speed.

There's no wiring there on my van to plug in the large fan yet

I'll have to dig out a wiring diagram and see how the larger fan is activated

Thanks

No probs! Interesting project! What model and year is your Connect? I also have just the one small fan, but also an empty space for another one. I have always been curious as to why it does not have two fans, when there is a fitment for two :?

Please do update if and when you find out more info, and with the progress of your swap project!

My van is 06, badge on bonnet, half the AC, heaterbox, pipework (receiver/drier) come off the same model, the fans, comp and condenser (rad) was removed from later vehicle with badge on grill.

I checked both vehicles and it all looks the same, even the comp on the late one is the same as the comp original fitted to my engine that come out of a 03 focus, the reason I took pipework and heaterbox from early one is cause it had front, wings and engine removed so it was easier.

Next job is dash out and heaterbox swap
