You need 2 relays. One will be for the low side, which is a standard relay that you can get from advanced auto or auto zone. We got ours from an electronics store in Springboro. I can't remember the name of the place but they have a relay and a pigtail to plug into it. The second one is for the high side, which needs to be a high amp relay. We used the 75 amp bosch. If you need a hand let me know. You could bring your jeep over here or I could come to you. I live in Middletown.

We did not use a temp control. I run mine on low all the time and switch it to high if the motor gets warm. Low keeps it cool most of the time. It should not be a big deal to hook up a temp control if you want one.

You can buy a thermostat control from just about any parts store. I found mine at Advance. You can wire it inline with your relay so you can either manually control the low speed or let it come on automatically. I leave it on auto. If your running low all the time you will drain your battery so keep an eye on it.

I definitely don't won't it running all the time. I just want it on a temp control without a switch. I'm not a huge fan of deep water anyways

Understand that especially if it is streetable. Ours are trail only rigs and crawling around in the woods in the summer the fan would be on all the time anyways. (Plus im to cheep to buy a sensor Hahahahahaha)

We are supposed to turn it off in deep mud holes but i never remember. You may want an off switch wired in somehow just in case you do end up somewhere and dont want it running

So I've been running this kit from Hollister road Co. For 3 weeks and its been great. Fan cycles on and off like factory. Very well built kit, only $94 too
