Cooling Fan Kit Installation Instructions





1. Remove the battery.

2. Remove the windshield washer reservoir.

3. Remove the ignition coil bracket and replace it with the one supplied in the kit. Then attach the air temperature switch and its bracket as shown.





4. Remove the two bolts from the voltage regulator, and use them to attach the timer bracket as shown. (On Preludes, before you reinstall the front bolt, slip the ground wire from the new harness onto it.) Then attach the relays and timer to the timer bracket.




















5. Lay the wire harness in place along the front and right side of the engine compartment, then connect it.

6. Reinstall the washer reservoir and the battery.

7. Apply the new fan CAUTION label to the radiator shroud (on top of the old label).

8. Instead of simulating hot-start conditions, bypass the air temperature switch (just disconnect its connector), and turn the key on-and-off once (you don't have to start the engine). The fan should start when you turn the key off, and keep running for the 15-minute maximum.
NOTE: If, during hot weather, the customer complains that the fan doesn't come on also check the system with the air temperature switch connected, by turning the key off after the engine has idled for 20 minutes with the hood closed.

9. Reconnect the temperature switch connetor.
