Sorry to say but I can tell you are not so clued up when it comes to car. The Temp sensor was put there to control the fan, and these signals are from the ECU.You car running direct from the battery puts a large burden on your car as it goes, it will never charge the battery to its full capacity. The main and only function of your car during the day time is to start your car.
2nd problem is that your car runs cold at start ups and initial movements, fuel/air ratio is fxxxcked up. You will use more fuel.
As per your car oil, you should only use the Oil weight specified by the car manufacturer.
bro you have watched too much YouTube videos and you have gotten yourself confused, you know nothing about cars!!!!
How can your fan strain your battery when an alternator is there to take over once the car is startedhuh
Anything from 8 months up a car battery can give up at anytime, it doesn't matter if you run your fan directly or not..
And besides op problem is combustion related and not fan

lolz bro u making me laugh, original foreign made stock battery can last over 3 years but it's quite expensive for an average Nigerian to afford, I guess that's why people go for normal Korean/china battery with a life span of around 1 year.
I still insist your battery life and engine life have absolutely nothing to do with connecting your fan directly, bro I'm talking out of self experimented experience and not YouTube videos.
Once your car is started, alternator takes over all accessories, I once drove my car for 9 hours straight I didn't realize one battery terminal had fallen off until i eventually turned off the car when I stopped to buy suya around my area grin , the funny thing was that I was blasting songs on high volume with full headlight and phone plugged in with ac on throughout!!!
The only disadvantage of running fan directly is the noise from the fan can be very annoying at night and life span of fan will be drastically reduced,,
Maybe you are talking of running your car/engine without thermostat I guess...
My thermostat is fully intact but my fan is connected directly

I realized ac works much more better on a hot afternoon with fan always cooling the ac condenser non-stop,, my car uses only one fan for both AC and radiator

u still did not answer the question.but if what U meant was for fan to run wen AC is on then Im lost cos your fan will come on once ur AC is turned on regardless unless there is a fault my car a RRS has one viscous fan.

Just like in most XC90s with single fan, at times the fan gets faulty and won't take the steps from low speed to higher speeds, but instead keeps blowing at low speeds only, irrespective

Most kazeems will advice you to connect it direct instead of getting a replacement,not discounting the fact some users personally opt for that method to save costs too

and U wonder why cars overheat n brakedown more often.the car thermostat n coolant temp sensors are meant to function in a certain way and let me tell U cannot wire newer cars directly as they ha e thier own circuit strait from the ECU.So what do U do in such cases?replace or repair
