Might be your fan control module.......(not too familiar with the E8), and if it is, you want to make sure and hook it back up.

Doesn't matter where it sits as long as its plugged in. The fans get told when to come on based on the engines coolant temperature

how is that possible? either your only running the puller fan. ie. the big one that sits on the IC side of the radiator, or you directly wired your pusher fan to the harness that connects to the box?
