Default LS Swap 2-speed fan wiring

Happy Super Bowl Sunday,

It is snowing here so I thought I would work on a couple indoor projects, one of which is wiring up the fuse block and relays for a 2 speed fan controller. These are the two diagrams I found, both look to be the same. I thought at one point I found a way to do this with only 2 relays, but that may have been a fever dream. I bought a $80 C5 cooling fan from Rockauto along with the pigtails but I do not see anywhere that the polarity is marked on the fans or the pigtails, is there a standard for which pin is which?

Thanks,

Scott

You didn't say what ECU you are running, going to assume a stock GM. The output is always ground from them. Here is a post with the schematic, just apply voltage and make sure the pull and don't push. If they push reverse your wires you're not going to cook them.

Thanks. I am running a stock 2002 LS1 ECU and I understand the signal for the fan is ground. I will go out and apply 12 volts and see which way they spin.

I have put together the relays and fuse block and now I’m going to go try it out.



FYI, positive is on the left on viewing the plug from this direction.
