I am thinking of adding a push mode fan in front of the radiator, on my persona. Checked around selling around rm170.
Reason to make the aircond cooler during hot afternoon.

Can anyone here show me how to tap the wire from the main radiator fan?

Your aircon already has its own fan blowing on the condenser. I doubt you have the space to add another fan.

Ha push pull eh? No, don't do it. Reason: Waste of electrical power and it can only cool faster but never bring the temperature lower than having one fan. You can only have a better fan and its management system.

Seriously, what's your main purpose of adding extra fan?
engine overheating? aircon not cold enough?
IF non of the above, why do u need to add fan?
IF it's one of the above, u need to rectify the root cause instead of adding fan.

If you're car cooling system (including the fans) are working properly then you should not need another extra fan in front of the radiator. If you still want more cooling power from the fan, rather than having another extra fan, I'd rather find a compatible fan with more blades if available, or maybe change the motor fan with even faster/stronger one. Another option is to use better radiator.

Btw do you actually have overheating problem? Or your aircon is not cold enough? Just want to understand the exact reason why you're asking to add extra fan. Coz if you're having one of these problems or both, then extrafan is actually not the real solution.

It makes more sense to change the existing fan to a more powerful unit, rather than adding another fan.
