Aight, here's the switch I have. The connectors read, from left to right:

<U>Power, Load, Ground.</U>


Here's the fan switch. I'm putting spade connectors on each prong and running wires from there. The left side if pos. and the right side is ground.



My question is, where should I run wires? I want to be able to turn the fan on and off, regardless of whether the engine is running or the key is on.

Thanx in advance, Tippyman.

 

I made this little pic and I was gonna ask you to "fill in the blanks"

 

Make sure to use an inline fuse, so in case you short something out, you will not burn anything/start a fire.

 

^^^. That's how I would do it. Use a 10A-15A fuse as close to the battery(12v source) as possible.

Between the "+" and the power terminal?

 

Between your power source (battery) and the switch.

 

Yeah between the +12v and the power terminal on the switch.

 

Cool. Will do.

 

wait a minute...

is this switch on the thermostat housing? I was under the impression this was a simple switch... meaning no continuity below a given temp, and continuity above a certain temp?

Am I wrong?

If its that simple, you dont need any 12v... just use the switch to close the pins on the plug. If your car is running, simply use a paperclip to jump the connector and see if the fan turns on.

 

The question is, why are you installing the switch in the first place? 94
