Harness for efans question

[Jimmy]

Wheres the cheapest/best place to order harness for efans?
Nelson and black bear both want around $110, seems high?
Has anyone here made there own harness?






Edit: not sure if thread is in correct section..

 

[Khaos]

Iirc, blackbear posted the link to their supplier on their website so we can order direct from them and save some money.

Also have heard making your own harness is fairly straight forward and easy.

I made my own. I'll see if I can find the diagram. It was easy.

Edit
Here's one thread with some diagrams in it.

Anybody else have any input? Anything helps.

please make sure you get LEGIT relays...not crappy shit from vatozone. Run beastly 50A+ units, solder and shrink wrapp all ur connections.

I heard you can just go to a junkyard and pull/use the factory 05+ wiring, is that true?

 

[Gannon]

Yes sir, that's what most do if they get that lucky when they pull the fans.

Sucks bc when i looked for fans no junkyard near me had them or truck was smashed in the front, so ill prolly have no luck looking for the factory harness.

 

[Gannon]

Just call, couldn't hurt, and prob cheaper than a Nelson/blackbear harness.

Did you get the pigtails with your fans? The plugs for the fan motors. If so, I might be able to get you a harness. There is a 06 in the junkyard here that still had the relay block under the hood. But the fans were gone and the wiring all hacked up.

 

[Jimmy]

Yes mine have the pigtails.

 

[ScottyBoy]

Fuckit. Just drive to Shreveport and I'll help you hook up your fans and do the LEDs.

Seems like it is going to be easiest to just order a harness from nelson or BBP.
Do i have to change the alternator also? Or is that just recomended?

If you have the 105amp alternator, I would replace it with a 130amp or 145amp. My 130 amp just barely keeps up. But I also have a LOT more electrical stuff than you, along with rear AC. So you should be fine with a 130-145 unless you have a monster sound system.

And if you dont wanna pay $100 for a harness, send me those fan pigtails and I can make you a harness for pretty cheap.
