Hello all, Ive been going thru my 78 280z engine harness which had a harness fire and i am fixing that. This is not a question on how ot install an E fan, the question comes up because while going thru the wiring diagram, i found a connection that says that it goes to the electric fan sub harness. My z came with an aftermarket E fan, but it was not plugged in. Can i use that connection shown on the diagram for my efan? Ive looked online and cant seem to find anything that mentions a stock efan for 280z. Also, on my thermostat housing, i have what it seems to be a sensor that would control an e fan. My Tstat housing has 4 sensors, the ECT, the gauge coolant temp, the thermo time switch and a 4th sensor, 2 wires towards the driver side of the engine. I looked at my 77 280z and in that hole, it just has a threaded plug as per the FSM. Anyone know what threat that is? Is it stock? Any info is appreciated. Thanks,

I think i got what i needed for the time being. I haven't had a chance to look and see if it has the #1 and #2 or if its a true 1 wire. Once i check that and compare to the link you sent, ill know if i have my questions. Thanks again.

Thank you. That was helpful.

Thanks. Ill try and find some info on how to wire this alternator.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Here is a picture of the alternator. Thanks,

Sorry on the lack of information. The engine currently does not run. i bought the car from a guy that said he started it and ran for about 2 minutes and then the engine harness caught fire. The owner before him had installed an AMP and removed the fusible links which i am going to assume was not done properly. I took out the engine harness and replacing all the damaged wires and when i looked at the schematic saw that it did not match my alternator. I looked up the GM alternator and it does look a lot like it. Ill take a picture later today. i am trying to go thru the electrical and doing the fusible link upgrade again properly before i try and start to make sure i dont get a fire.

I was in the electrical section just reading about alternators. Ill take a picture when i get home and post it. Thanks for the reply

Hello, I am new to the z world, but I've always loved this cars, i could just never afford one. Finally got one and apart from some electrical issues i am working through, the car has potential, i am confused on the alternator schematic. What i have circled in red, is that the T connector i keep reading about? Also, looking at my alternator, the connections on it look nothing like the schematic, all i see is a single wire running to it. ill post a picture of it when i get home.
