My wire gauge reads 12 for the red wires (power) and 14 for the black and brown wires (sensor).
It won't fit; you'll need an adapter npt reducer.
The adapter is made of 1/2" pipe.
The cooling fan switch should be located near the thermostat housing on the left side of the engine, behind the distributor assembly, according to the correct wire diagram. Green and black should be the colors of the switch wires.

To convert my F100 to an electric fan, I purchased this kit. Initially, I was hesitant. br>br>I installed this harness about two years ago. I've driven my F100 for about 12000 miles and have had no problems with the harness's operation. I do have one suggestion: the circuit breaker that comes with the kit does not appear to be UL listed, so I would recommend purchasing a bussman circuit breaker in addition to this item. The only reason for the 4-star rating is because of the circuit breaker. br>br>It's time for an update. I modified this harness about three months ago to work with my truck's air conditioning, and I have yet to experience any problems with it.
The kit is of poor quality, and I'm not sure if the temperature switch works at all. Fans were tested while the switch was turned off. They're fine, but my house temperature has risen to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. The thermo switch is still not working (though the threads are well grounded). To be honest, all I did was use the wiring. The rest was thrown away, including the breaker.
This was installed on a race car to allow the car to turn on the electric radiator fan automatically when it was needed. The on/off temperature is about 8 degrees higher than our dash gauge, but it works great and saves our driver from having to remember to turn on the switch, as well as the battery, when we leave the fan running after the race.
Works fine, but I had to purchase a new relay because the one that came with the package kept my fan running even when the truck was turned off. The directions are riddled with spelling errors, as if they were written by someone who isn't very fluent in English. I also made my own wiring changes because it didn't make sense to connect a hot wire to a temperature sensor that didn't require power to function. There were a few minor snags, but it was inexpensive, and you get what you pay for.
50A on its own Even a 30 amp fan would be too much for the wire gauge. In addition, the relay appears to be light and flimsy. It's almost like I got it on eBay. If you run 30 amps or more through this wire, it will melt and possibly catch fire, so it's a good thing it comes with a 30 amp breaker rather than the 50 amp breaker it's supposed to be rated for. Although start-up current differs from running current, you'll still be short if you're looking at a fan that can run 30 amps, despite the fact that it's supposedly rated to 50 amps.
My truck ran hot 5 or 6 times, and I could hit the breaker with something and the fan came back on; I had to replace the circuit breaker from this kit with a different type, as this one is no good; I even used a meter to check the load and found no reason for the breaker to trip, so be careful.
I've purchased two switches so far, and neither of them will turn on the fan.
Very simple, and I can't complain about the price. I couldn't believe how easily the sensor fit into the intake manifold of my Nissan z24. With a little pipe sealant on the threads, it fits like an OE part; however, this is a kit, not an OE part, so if the sensor fails, your fans will as well, leaving you stranded. I added a simple on-off switch to the mix. I added an extra ground to the sensor wire so I could bypass the switch if necessary. For the money, this is a fantastic kit.
