I was asking about the 3.7L V6 fans that are one speed/on or off fans. Not the newer V8 fans that are variable speed fans. I was thinking I could put a one way resistor in the power lines to the efan so that the fan would work "normally" and the temp sensor would provide the power at say 200 down to 190 degrees.
Yet the factory wiring would be protected from power back feed.
3.7l is plug and play. Just plug it into the efan plug from factory.

No need to do anything with resistors. It’s a straight plug and play fit. You just need a tuner to adjust the fan on temp

I think you mean a diode

Can not afford the "TUNER". That is why I was thinking along the lines of a temp sensor to turn the efan on at a lower temp. Cheaper way to do it. I will have to figure out if the on/off is POWER or Ground myself.
Surely I can find a wiring diagram on here somewhere.
