fan

[subframe]

Was just wondering if there is a way to turn on the cooling fan manually ...to help cool down the motor say after a drag run. On my 04 Cobra , you could jump out the relay to run the fan in the pits....any thoughts?...Rich

Yes...

You can also turn them off and on with FORSCAN on a laptop although doing so is a little tricky to figure out at first.

Hmmm, I'll have to check the service manual to see if there is a relay trigger wire readily accessible. It doesn't seem like you should have to install a new wire and run new rather heavy-gauge wire.

That would certainly be another way to go however just realize that the "other" end of that wire is hooked up to the output of a computer. I don't know if it is monitoring the active state of those outputs or not. If you run a voltage to it make sure you know what voltage it needs (either +12 or +5 etc...) and know that if the computer is looking at the output state it may throw a code when it thinks the output is shorted "on" when it thinks it is supposed to be "off". If it doesn't monitor them then this would be another great way to go!

(Edit - it could also be that it grounds the relay to turn it on...not sure without a wiring diagram. Same statement applies though)
