12 gauge should be adequete for that application. The windstar fans I am running draw as much if not more power than any other fan out there so if wire that heavy is getting noticably hot the fan's motor might be fecked up.

both of those solutions you mentioned would do nothing more than to put more current through the wire, therefore making it hotter. V=IR, I=heat
Well me and my buddy figured it out, its the ground wire that went from the fan to the body, I spliced it with a 12 gauge, and not a 10 gauge, so it was overheating the wire, so we fixed that and BOOM BABY! It works, my engine stays so much cooler now, and that alternator is nice too. Thanks for the help!
I found this application chart while browsing ebay so all you suckas wont keep bugging me about what vehicles CS144's came in.
i need sharpe or weston to help me clock my case so i dont fawk something up
I know this guy doesn't exist anymore, but is he saying he swapped out a 10 gauge wire for a 12 gauge? I'm hoping he realizes like guns, wires get bigger the smaller their number.Quote:
