Durango I'm notpositive about the fan ,But what I can tell you is Black with yellow in a ford is tradtionally a 2nd ignition lead. If you haven't found the answer yet lmk I'll look it up. hey man I didnt forget about the kick panel pics I just have been swamped I only cut the templates I'll pick up some gel coat over the weekend & try tomake time during the week. LOL sense we talked I ripped the car apart and went hell bent to hook up some tricked out stuff and ended up snowballing into a clutch ,U-joints , calipers ,rotors and brake line, and am about to order aexhaust I got the damn bug again why did I even start 
not supposed to fix what not broke aaarrrrgggg

This thread is old, and I started it before I switched to Focus fans and simpler controls.
Yeah all Focus share the same fan set. However, some had different blade counts and styles. All work very well and I don't believe the size or shrouding ever changed with the exception of the new '08 models.

Focus fan? I must've missed that: care to elaborate or share some links? Focusses are pretty common in Europe, so that would be an interesting option to look into for me.

I just wired up a dual spal set up using 2 relays. One hooked to a switched ignition the other to a temp sensor switch located in the head. One fan comes on with ignition automaticlly , but I can turn it off from inside of car. The other fan is turned on by the temp sensor at 200 degrees. Pretty simple Just like DB has, but sometimes thats not a bad thing.

It's easy, find a Focus, pull the radiator fan set, and install. They all have pretty much the same same fan set design. It's up to you to figure out the best way to mount it and control it.

I'll put it on my ever growing todo list 
I'm just no hero on the electronics, so I'll have to call in some favors to do the relay and sensor wiring when the time is there. Perhaps TT or V-Twin or mayba Cajos could chip in by that time

I went electric because I went to serpentine, and it was too much of a hassle to integrate a reverse flowing mechanical fan that wouldn't even work well with a stock shroud and I didn't want to make a custom shroud when I could just do electric.

Tom Dewitt I think started that some time ago, with the dual Spals, the OEM radiator top/bot channel running along the core is apparently strong enough to allow that, but I don't have a OEM type rad so I just went off the four mounting tabs, having over with it.....two lateral aluminum channels, bolt the fans to them, and then attach some shroud extensions to provide flow from all over the core, the fans about 2" to the rear of my rad core....
I removed the whole damn assy from the car, support and all to get it done, much simpler, did it in an afternoon...

For me, my original rad, shroud and fan were toast. I was stroking my engine and adding an aluminum rad, so electric fan was a much more viable option than a L82 fan/shroud. Plus a spreader bar will not fit with my L82 shroud. My car will never be back to original so I went electric.
