 Let me show you what this bad boy can do. Hey, welcome back to the Titanium Man Garage. Today I'm going to shoot a quick video on how to hotwire your fans so you don't have to worry about your sensors dying on you and your engine accidentally overheating. Just some little trick that I like to do, a couple subscribers ask, how do you go about doing that. There's two different ways to do it, depending on what style ATV you have. I've got the O5 scrambler sitting here and that will have to be wired one way and I've got a 99 sportsman over here and I'll have to pull the hood off of that and show you that will be a completely different way. What I'll do is I'll show you on the O4 and on up style. If you have a sportsman with the speedometer and tachometer up on top, the method I show you, if you bypass it, it'll show the temperature light flashing on the gauges. So if that doesn't bother you, you can bypass it. If it does bother you, you can just replace the temp sensor. But yeah, I'll just show you how I do it and if you guys like it, good. If you don't, well, then don't do it. So here's my quick tip of the day. So first things first, I made up a couple jumper wires. For the O5 scrambler, I happen to have an old temp sensor laying around and it had the plug on it. This one's shot. Like I said, it blew the motor on another one I had, so I kept it and what I did was I cut the end off and I made a jumper out of it. So basically, cut the ends, stripped the wires, twisted it together, put some electrical tape on there. So basically what you're doing is you're tricking your electronics and you'll have your wire coming in, circulate back around and your fan will stay on constantly. Or if you don't have one of these laying around, you can just make a little makeshift jumper wire. I had something else electronic from a four-wheeler that's got the male and the female ends. If you don't have that, you can just kind of make something work because your other end of your temp sensor is going to have this and this, so you got a male and a female end. That's why I use something like this or you can go to your auto parts store and I'm sure these two ends you can buy. Now for the 99 Sportsman, I'll take a different type of jumper wire. This is a makeshift one I just used for testing. I wouldn't go ahead and use this. You want two flat ends right here and when I get that far I'll show you why they need to be farmed. So most people would think you would just take this off the fan and bypass it that way. That is one way but I got a better way. Some of you might be saying, hey, Titanium Man, what are you doing? Here's my little trick. Let's get some light on the subject here. So on the side of your engine, right behind this tank, there's that temperature sensor I showed you on the bench and your wire comes up. It's basically when your engine gets hot, your oil temperature sensor opens up, sends power back to your fan. What I do is disconnect it. I got my little makeshift jumper. I'm going to plug that into the side of the electronics school. Now I need to add the key. The fan comes in. You can just kind of tire out that and tuck that out of the way. And that would be for an old five and up or possibly an old four and up. Back me on a year if I'm wrong, I might even be an old three. So now let me show you on the 99 Sportsman and let's see. I guess everything from 96 probably 2001 would be this style and some of the 700s too as well. All right, back to the bench. I made up front style jumper wire. Now this isn't the best. Let's do it like this. This is my little test wire I use on all my ATVs. If you can go to the auto parts store and get the style of the square ends on it. Okay, so this is a 99 Sportsman. I think up to 2001, 2002 you can do this. Got your wiring harness coming in, goes to your temperature sensor on your radiator, unplug that. You see how those ends are square, that's kind of what I was talking about. All right, I got my jumper wire shoved in there. And now when I turn the key, it's hot wire to the fan, so the fan will stay on constantly. All right, so now you'd want to waterproof this somehow. So depending how you made your jumper wire, wrap this very good with electrical tape and never have to worry about your temperature sensor kicking out again and ever blowing a motor. The downfall on this is it does put some wear on the battery. And like I said, if you had an O-405 Sportsman with a digital tack and speedometer, your little wrench or your temperature light will be flashing constantly. So like I said, if you don't like that idea, then don't do it. This is a cheap, quick fix. If you're just out riding on your own property or bombing your own, you don't really care. Feel free to try my method out and see if you like it. So I hope you liked the video and if you're new to the channel, feel free to subscribe. I've got plenty of repairs from two strokes to four strokes. Yeah, I can't spot anything I got. And I got a garage full of ATVs. So you know what that means, a lot more videos. So guys got any questions, give me a shout out and I'll see if I can help you out. And like always, till next time.
