How many amps radiator fan?

[Roger]

Does anyone know how many amps the OEM radiator fan takes?
It is fused by a 30 amp. Also the horn is on that fuse.

The reason I ask this, I have 2 x 9" revotec fans fitted and want to know if they can go on the original loom. according to spec they pull approx 8A each.

Hope someone know.

Thanks.

cant find any specs myself and the fan just says "12 volts" on the side ! really helpful thanks might be stanmped deeper on the metal carcass though

revotec website says yours pull nearly 10 amps stalled current each, the standard loom is not relayed, all the current is switched by the thermistor in the radiator.

that would be one solution i guess? use the radiator switch to pull the windings on a new relay ?

When I fire up the car, I'll stick my DC clamp-on for you.

you both are brilliant. Thanks a lot!
I wanted to avoid another relay as the engine bay is already so full of wires... but after the your replies I think it is wise to do..

Thanks guys!
