I'm adding an electric fan to my F-250. It's a junkyard assembly out of an SHO. The fuse for said fan was 60 amps. So I'm guessing the regular over the counter 30 amp relay kits that parts stores sell would be insufficient to switch it with. Does anyone know a good heavy duty option I can watch for on my next trip to the pick & pull?

Run two 30 amp units in parallel?

You could always hit up the local car stereo shop for decent cheap easily found fuses and digikey for a relay.

Get a relay from the car the fan came in?

I run a Taurus fan in my Lemons car, the relay from the donor Taurus was blue and obviously bigger than a standard Bosch 20A.

for some reason I thought the taurus fans relay was some integral control unit. hmmmm....

Could have some type of control unit, but the car I got my fan from had big blue relays labled "Fan Hi" and "Fan Lo" in the relay block. I'll take a picture when I get home.

I have a whole box of brand new, Bosch 30A, 12 and 24VDC condenser fan relays. I'll send one to anyone that wants it for free, plus shipping. Just PM me.

Apparently Volvo relays are popular. I wish I'd know that when I hit the yard last weekend.
