Re: Project Lex
Coolant is refilled. I tested the fans by jumpering 12V to them and they work. I decided to just go ahead and replace the relay that turns them on just in case it got damaged. I started the car, car runs and idles great. As it was starting to get up to temp, I was walking around inspecting things, then I noticed the wiring in the wheel well. What you see in the pic is the black and yellow loom that is the OEM wiring that used to run in the engine bay that I tucked up in the wheel well. Then also my single control wire (and connector) that goes from the fan relay to the Infinity ECU to trigger the fans. When the wheel hit the curb, it must have came up and hit this area and basically ripped that connector apart and left it dangling there. So easy fix, grabbed a new connector and repaired it and tucked it back up there.
Let the car idle for 15-20 minutes. Temp got up to 189 and bam fans kicked on just like their supposed to, then shut off right at 180 when their supposed to. Temp stayed perfect between 180-190. So starting to look promising!
Also dropped the wheels off to be repaired today. Should be done in the next day or two. Gotta get some new tires on order asap.
