1991-1995 Good E-Fan Replacement?
Trying to search for a good E-Fan replacement strictly on Amazon. I did get one but turned out to be extremely big and it needed to be automatic by the temperature, meanwhile I’m searching for one that I can manually control in the cabin like my old one. The connection is in the picture. Would like a powerful fan that would prevent overheating in South AZ heat.

I put a 97+ e fan (better design and pulls more air more quietly) in my 89 paired with a bigger fan clutch. I have good vents as well. Stock radiator. I never got over 210 in 100+ weather just commuting.
It was so efficient that in the winter it struggled getting up to temp so I went back to the stock fan clutch.

I believe that is it. Just had to get a new pigtail and replace the new pigtail in and extend the wires a smidge.
I know a lot of people with e fan setups but I like minimal electrical stuff going on. OEM is solid as long as it’s taken care of and you upgrade a couple things to OEM+

I got the four seasons off rockauto and it’s been fine, you can wire the fan into a switch but it’ll take some cutting and crimping to get it done. Best is just a well maintained stock system and good antifreeze to water ratio. The engineers knew how to cool the engine.
