I recently have a Spal "16 electric fan installed on my car until a few days ago when a foreign object flew between the fan guard and ripped all of the blades off the fan.
For a temperary fix, I went to the junkyard and pulled an electric fan from a taurus 3.0 v6 engine. After installing the fan, it will only run for a few minutes before shutting off. What's the deal? My previous Spal "16 fan would run constantly until I shut it off with the toggle switch.
I used the factory harness plug from the ford taurus and just spliced the wire on the plug and connected them directly to the wires that run to my toggle switch.
What gives? Why does the fan only run for a few minutes before shutting off? Please help.
