I just installed a aux fan on my suburban. The one that goes in front of the condenser. (Some 400s came with them from the factory) By anychance does anybody know which way the fan supposed to spin? Clockwise or counter?
Reason I ask if because it feels like it's pushing air out the grill. I'm just making sure there not polarity sensitive... any help appreciated

It should be polarity sensitive. Might could tell by the shape of the blades. Do you have a decent picture?

My aux fan will freewheel when it's off and the radiator fan is operating (engine running of course). Maybe yours does too. Make note of the direction of rotation.

It should turn in the same direction when it's energized... only faster.

Yep. Counter clockwise

Ok thank you. So standing in front of the grill as if your looking at the condenser. Fan spins clockwise. Since that's wrong is it a matter of switching the harness?
