? regarding cooling fan... please help

[ACV1081]

I am trying to utilize an aftermarket cooling fan on my MTX SHO, but have one question! What direction is the air supposed to blow? Should it push outward through the radiator or backwards toward the engine? I know this is probably a dumb one, but I just want to wire it correctly thumbs_u Let me know asap. TIA.

TO me it only makes sense for the fan to blow on the radiator.

I hope that was a joke wink

The radiator fan pulls through the radiator, and blows back onto the engine.

the fan pulls fresh air into the engine compartment . it pulls fresh air across the condensor and across the radiator. the direction of flow is in thru the front and out thru the engine compartment.

The same reason the fan is never required when the car is moving and the climate control is set to VENT or FLOOR. The fan merely substitutes for the natural air flow through radiator when the car is not moving fast enough to cool itself.
