4.2 electric fan help
I have a 05 trailblazer with the 4.2 and would like to switch to electric fan. I would like to beable to use my hp tuners to control the elctric fan like I did on my 05 silverado. The fan is done with pulse withs or something like that. I am not sure if I can hook into the harness at the core support were the elctric clutch hooked into.

Never done this, but,
You could you not goto fan table, select the temp you want to fan to turn on and put 100% there and up,
Then where the wire goes to fan, put that to power a fan relay.
Do the same with AC pressure table?
Just a thought

Unless I am completely missing something I don't see that a option like my 05 ls1 has. Here is a tune you can see what I am talking about.

System > Fans
fan desired% vs Coolant temp
Lets say you want fans to turn on at 199*
from 199* and up put 100%
Then you would use the Fan PWM wire, hook into a relay, to turn relay on.
Then wire relay to the fan motor.
I cant see why this wouldnt work but I have never done it.

But I am just not sure this will work like that since I think it is a pulse with thing the fan tab looks nothing like my 05 ls1 like the trailblazer does. I would like to conform that would work before I start I have to finish in a evening so my wife can drive to work next day.

PWM Pulse Width Modified
So for example if it was set a 50%, then it would be on 50% of the Time and Off 50% of the time.
But if you set at 100%, it would be ON 100% of the time, so it would be a constant current and not a signal.

I still have never fixed the clutch fan on my wifes trailblazer just turned the ses light off. But it is starting to affect mileage so I need to get this figured out I finally did find a wiring diagram for the plug that the clutch plugs into. I also would like to here if this will work from someone that has done it since this is her everyday vehicle I can't have down time. Since it is PWM like planethax said can I just set it too 100% were I want it to turn relay on.
