Help! - fan clutch on manual switch info
Alright, so I need to put my stock clutch on a manual switch so that I can turn the fan on when I need it for pulling and towing.
The wiring diagram is attached. It's the second one from the top. 2003-2004 CTD. I tried running 12v's to all the wires except the ground with no luck. I have even tried completing the ground to a ground - no luck. Anyone know the method to wire up the stock belt driven fan onto a switch? Thanks!

i was thinking of installing new flex-lite fans, but the stocker flows more anyways, i just want the ability to turn it on when i need it. i've noticed on some grades or when getting hot that i don't hear it turning on any more. the clutch could be fried. i want to see if anyone else on here knows how to wire it or who tried this. i didn't find any possible combination from the available wires to do this.

IDK if I would add a switch. Might backfeed the ground or power through a sensor or the ECM and fry all kinds of stuff or keep setting codes.

good call. but i cut all the wires to avoid this. there has to be a way to wire it directly and not even use the ECM. I can rewire everything if I can't figure it out. I'd hate to drop 500 on new fans that are less effecient for no reason. All I want is the ability to turn on/off when I want.
 thanks bud.

That's going to be the tough part, trying to wire it so it doesn't throw codes.
5.9L DIESEL (ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED FAN DRIVE) The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the level of engagement of the electronically controlled viscous fan clutch by monitoring coolant temperature, intake manifold temperature, air conditioning pressure and transmission oil temperature. Based on cooling requirements, the ECM sends a signal to the viscous fan clutch to increase or decrease the fan speed. Fan speed is monitored by the ECM. Fan speeds above or below a calibrated threshold will set a DTC. Circuit concerns will also set fan clutch DTC’s. Last edited by RAM CR 24V; 10-10-2009 at 10:07 PM.. Reason: Merging posts

good info! but when I cut the wires or disconnected the connector... it didn't throw any codes at all.

One other thing about a switch, it's all or nothing. So this is going to kill the fuel mileage.

agreed. but i'm not looking for fuel mileage increases. i have really large injectors and big turbos and big tires. i'm only seeing 13mpg on 740hp settings. its a competition type rig and i'd rather have it all or nothing, if you know what i mean.

if i made it... it would have two wires. positive and negative!

it has to get all the reading probably from a water and oil temp, speed probably has something to do with it, RPM...i imagine all these reading go into when the ECM kicks the fan on. Not to mention the air conditioner kicks the fan on...
Darn electronics  there has to be someone that knows how to kick this thing. does the fan clutch have its own 12 or 5 volts going to it constantly??

the fan has its own 5V supply, it is needed for the sensor. Hopefully you didn't put 12V to that pin.
The 5V's are needed to supply the fan control. The fan adjusting voltage is lower than that. Camotanker do you have the wiring to the fan, the fan itself and the ECM? If I have access to that maybe I can help you. Doin' that crap with RADAR, Engagement control and missiles all day. Simple reason for not throwing any codes- you cut the wires. Maybe it is cheaper to install an additonal fan from the Junkyard, than messing up with the ECM. Thats what I would do. To generate 5Volts is simple, you just need a 7805 IC: input with 12V,output is 5V and the connector in the middle is ground -expecting costs: 20cent? Whoops! Just saw you poweroutput of 740hp. Impressive! Does your fan operate right know? I will be expensive if the fan won't work!!! I wouldn't mess up the fan control at this poweroutput. Much to dangerous! Pin 1: Could be 12V or ground? Thats the reason for the needed diagram Pin 2: Ground Pin 3: regulating fan voltage 0V up to 5V Pin 4: empty Pin 5: 5V Supply voltage Pin 6: 12V All connectors (excluding Pin 4)have to be supplied Last edited by Deezel Stink3r; 10-17-2009 at 11:16 AM..

the good news is the fan isn't fried. I turned to HVAC to the AC settings and I hear the fan working at low rpm. So it's not jacked up. I would still like to get this on a switch if possible and I don't have any wiring diagrams. I just figured there would be a simple way to bypass the sensor or to have the sensor engage on demand. Any thoughts? Supply 5volts to the 5volt wires?

In my opinion it should be possible. There is just the need to isolate the original wiring from the add-on switch to avoid interfere with the ECM.
The 5V voltage is very common to run those devices. The fan speed adjusting voltage seems to be lower than 5V. Usually its between OV and 5V. I assume you want the highest fan rotation with the switch in the on position? If so you have supply 5V to the Pin 3 sensing input. It would be the best way to measure all voltages during use. One time with the fan off, and a second time with the fan engaged. Keep a notice on all voltages at all pins. with that list it is very easy to apply the correct voltage to the right pin. If you don't have a digital multimeter ask a certified electronic tech. It will be a lot cheaper than to replace the fan and the ECM. Try to get the wiring diagram, it is very helpful to know where those cables come from. The reason why I ask is simple. If the ECM uses digital codes, you can't simply add another volltage without causing big trouble.
