Engine Fan Direction

Post by gjacobs101 »

Hello,
I recently got my radiator fan working again, turns on when engine hits 190. Yeah! The original wiring harness was not there and it had been hacked (badly) previously. There are 2 wires that hook up the fan, I suspect polarity of these will drive the fan clockwise or counterclockwise. Question is should the fan be blowing from engine to outside, or reverse outside to in. Currently it spins to push air from engine bay to outside.

Does someone know the correct direction?

Thanks
-George

The fan should be pulling air through the radiator into the engine bay.
