This is the Factory Viper Fan Wiring Schematic. The ECU sends a signal at 207*F to the first relay which turns the fan ON and OFF. The second relay remains in the 87a position (Low Speed Fan) until the ECU sends an additional signal at 216*F which switches the second relay to the 87 position (High Speed Fan). This connection draws the most current and is the path that runs hot, overheats, and melts the relays in the previous picture.
Above is our Modified Wiring Schematic. The factory wiring is untouched to retain the ECU’s control of when to turn the fan on and off. When power is sent through the factory wires, we use these inputs as signals to trigger our standalone relays which carry the load through dedicated power and ground wires so there is virtually no load going through the factory wires, this eliminates the possibility of melting them.
We used MIL-spec wire for the dedicated power and ground wires, which is routed through a 60 Amp circuit breaker then to the standalone relays to power the fan. To prolong the life of our standalone relays we used a pair of NOsparc® spark suppressors. This setup becomes a plug and play installation by using the factory plug and only requiring an additional 2-wire plug to connect the new shroud-mounted setup.
The first component is a 60 Amp Circuit Breaker (Part # CB3-SM-60 from Terminal Supply Co.) with a 42V Direct Current Maximum.
Next we needed to mount a pair of relays with this pre-wired harness and mounting bracket (Part # PT-B0S-12BK from Terminal Supply Co.). They are individual and slide lock together to form a single mounting block.
We sourced a pair of 50 Amp TE Relays rated to 100*C (Part # RLY-C-X032 from the Electrical Depot) to carry the load of the new 40 Amp fan.

Radiator fan wiring upgrade they auxiliary relays what wires output to the fan either number or color it’s not clear thank you for your help
Have a customer with a 96 wanting to do this upgrade to his cooling system, any idea where the cooling fan may be available?
That’s weird. I’ve always been taught to crimp ring terminals on the cut side, so it forms a B-type crimp that secures the wire. Well, whatever works!
good evening i have a 1999 viper GTS and i just got the radietor from you do u by any chance sale the hole kit for the fan to make it work better please let me know so i can buy ti thanks
need to but a water pump for 1997 dodge viper. please call me 505-316-0182
surffun1915@aol.com i did evething u did but when it hit 190 the fan starts 5 min later the 60 amp trips fan goes out car will get hot i had to wait to cool to re-set the 60 amp ignition protector
What temp does the fan kick on? Did you change the low or high speed fan temp threshold by flashing your ECU? If you’re tripping the 60A circuit breaker, then you need to troubleshoot and find what is causing the excessive amp draw.
Is the Bosch relay with the 332 209 151 number the same relay? Stats look similar to the one you have installed
Those appear to be 30A relays vs the 50A relay that I used. I would recommend using the part number for the 50A relay.
Have a 2000 GTS that is over heating due to faulty relays.
I wont need the upgraded fan and will likely only need to replace the factory relays, is there a part number you’d recommend?
can u send me more detail about the wires evething look nice but i can not see every cable where they go to make shure i conected right i need the order or a better pictures can u send me a diagram i got all the parts thanks
