i found a couple taurus fans for 35 a piece... gonna go get one or maybe both this weekend,... i hid one so i am sure it will still be there i have heard about running relays... anyone have a good wiring schemtaic i could use? or do i just run it on a toggle switch... but i will need to get a better alt too... so not in a HUGE hurry for it... thanks
Do not run it directly to a switch Proper wiring is covered in this thread http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=12800&highlight=relay+wiring
I have run electric fans directly to a switch but I run the ground side to the switch. My Sprint was like that for the last 3 1/2 years with no problems. As long as the switch is rated better than the full load amp (FLA) rating on the fan, it will work fine. Worst case senerio is the switch falls apart and the wire shorts to the dash. It will just turn on the fan. Just put the correct rated fuse on the positive lead as close to the source as possible. IMO, if you want manual control, this is the best way to do it.
