help with permacool fans
has anyone adapted the PermaCool cool pack fans to run off of pcm control?
i just called them but no help. according to their tech support, they do not have a wiring diagram anywhere for their controls.
they aree dual fans that move a lot of air, come with relays and a temp control brain.
from their temperature conrtol pot goes a 3 wire connector that goes either to the radiator probe (which never works), or to a head plug that is only available in 3/8 or 1/2 npt. i had a friend machine me a piece of brass that had an m14 male probe with a 1/2 female, but since it stuck out so far, the heat of the exhaust caused them to go on all the time.
any help would be appreciated.

i had the radiator probe...but it NEVER worked. they sent me the head plug, and it worked OK if i had the pot turned down all the way.
i have a dash switch hooked up to the blue wire.. since i have an 03, i can run a two pin setup....just need to figure out that does what inside the permacool relays and ****.

pin 33 for hi and 42 for low? am i correct?
the permacool stuff already has a set of relays....nicely packaged. the thermal sensor goes to a pot and the pot outputs to the relays.
guess it was too much to ask of the manufacturer for a wiring diagram or a sequence of operations...haha
i figure might as well do it now while the truck is in shambles
