PWM cooling fan(s) control using ECM

[SlowProgress]

Hey Andrew. Here is a photo from the build thread.



The Fan part number is 23455465. I think others have said it is around 850W at maximum, so around 70A roughly. I am sure there are other connectors out there but I was sort of hoping to find this one.

Is this it?

That looks like it. I am interested in the shell, seals, large terminal and the small PWM terminal for the mating side (socket side). See slightly better photo below.



Thanks,

Scott

I ordered 15 sets the last time I ordered the PWM module connectors to sell as pairs. But the place I ordered from said that was all the parts that make up the assembly that theirs doesnt require the white piece. Not sure how watertight it would be.

So does the female side have the gasket shown in the junkyard version you posted back around page 24 or so?

If so I would be interested in the mating female connector pins and the seal (shown here in orange).

The only seals I have are the ones for the wire to connector body. I have emailed the place I ordered them from to see if they have the gaskets.

Thanks for all the good information guys. I won't be wiring until later this year so let me know on the gasket if you hear back. It sounds (and looks) like you have everything else right there.

PWM Controller - I think it was clear earlier but just in case anyone is confused this fan has the controller integrated into the fan motor housing.

Scott or Scot,

Anyone care to post the information on this connector? Manufacturer? Series? etc...?

If it's the same connector that the SPAL brushless uses it's a Yazaki connector, I tried to source one without much success so I just bought the SPAL version which is assembled by Chief Enterprises

[andrewb70]

So I found some interesting information regarding the C6 fan controller and the Yazaki connectors. Someone on YB reported that the 2006-2009 Ford Fusion uses the same controller as the C6. So I went to the Pull-A-Part and their inventory showed two in stock. One had the whole front end missing, so that was a bust, but the other was mostly intact and had the radiator removed and was sitting on the engine, as if presenting itself. Low and behold, on the fan shroud was a very familiar finned aluminum box. I had to borrow a T25 Torx, but after a minute I had the controller off. The connector at the controller looked exactly like the Kostel connector that we've been sourcing from Mouser. On the power feed side was a mondo Yazaki male connector. Of course on the chassis wiring side was a matching female connector. I scored the whole thing, took it home, plugged it into my Cougar and it worked perfectly.

Today I went back and got the female Yazaki connector from the Fusion that had the front end missing. These connectors are super robust and by the accounts here, should fit the new CTSV/ATSV fans with the built in controller.

Now, if we can only find the part numbers for the large female terminals, then we will be all set!
