Fuses are there to protect cables in event of overload. If your running 50A is your wiring up to it. Could end up melting cabling before fuse goes. I run 40A relays with 30A fuses with a twin speed 16" kenlowe and a 12" cheapy for extra cooling on the high speed circuit. I use the twin switch from X-Eng in the bottom hose. Never had any issues towing or otherwise. Fans are very rarely on.

Thats what local auto electrical man told me . Start up on ford fans was heavy draw .

He supplied all wire , connections and fuses .

Went to breakers got 2 relays , showed them to auto man . He said they were just the job .
He has 50 amp relays @£10 each . Not like he was trying to sell something I didn't need .

Going by his advice there is no fuse to the fan . Only fused on the switched side .

Update....When checking temp at stat with T2,lower range switch 83/78 higher range 88/87 ......this is not doing me any favours to progressively control the temp Rolling Eyes

Any update on this Ted ?

Reason I ask is that I want to get an X-eng sender, but I only want the Low temp circuit to run off it, with a manual switch for the high temp.
Just wondering if you've sussed what sender range works best for the LT.
