Thermo fan question

[BottleFedVS]

I have a VS 5.0lt that used to be a S/C V6. I've still got the wiring there for a thermo fan set-up.
my question is can or does the VR V8 auto computer still control the thermo fans or has this circuit been removed from the pcm?
if I do hook-up the fans to the harness using the original plug it just blows the #10 ignition fuse.
this is what I feel I'm doing!

I have thermos in my 5ltr. All commodores had the thermo wiring as standard, v6(obviously) and the v8s too. I however ran the wiring to the relay box and just had it activate a bigger relay for the AU thermos i used. They basically melt the factory wiring harness. But yes you will have to get the output turned on in the ecu first as its disabled in the v8's.

thanks for that.
I'll get it done with my tune.

yeah mate u can do it yourself bro if u wanted too ? u can use x2 30amp relays or x1 60amp relay and splice that into the fuse so it doesnt draw the power on initial startup, also if u use au thermos make sure they fit threw ur auto lines that run into ur radiator, i had that problem they went straight threw the fans so left them off until i changed to a seperate trans cooler

I've had a seperate Trans cooler since i bought the car.
the thermos i've got i picked up on feebay. I think they will fit a mondeo originally.

you can only try and see if you have them alreadi mate, just remove your fanshroud and clutch fan 1stly, then slide the thermos into place and see if they will fit etc before u do any unecessary wiring etc. let me know how u go also post pix if u can
