Yes, but STILL if bulkhead terminals are kept as the main path there is allmost nothing to worry if wired into the CORRECT alt output rate. Just when engine is off, and when this happen as mentioned if you set them up to be on JUST with ign switch on… and if to be automatically off with temo sensor switch, fans will be working for a minute or even less. Still on this stage, bulkhead will hold it nicelly.

Take in mind, RELAYS are made with prongs allmost just like the packard terminals, and they handle the load! But sure, when installing those, they are fresh brass… but bulkhead terminals… not. Check and MANTENIENCE is the key


Over the years, we have rebuilt multiple Mopars and wiring systems which were modified by less experienced guys for electric fans...
Bulkhead connectors and associated OE wires were not designed to handle the high current. Since we have designed & built multiple vehicles for CES and SEMA shows we do know a little bit about this..

Sure, it happens… making it wrong sure takes to that scenario. And without considering the correct loads handled on every spot at certain stages.
