Well, I finally installed my manual fan switch today. it lights up whenever the fan comes on, the switch allows me to chose between automatic and manual fan operation. plus I found something to put in that ugly spot on the dash.

 

hmmmmmmmmmm

 

cool, i just used a toggle switch and let it be at that. but a light could help alot..

 

Wait so that switch has three terminals: a ground a power for the light and another power . So how did you hook it up for the light to come on when the fans are computer controlled turned on? Does it light up when you flick the switch to turn them on too?

I'm confused.......

 

yes it comes on when anytime the fan is on, if it is in auto everything works as it should and the ligh comes on everytime the fan does, if I switch it to manual the fan runs continously as long as the ignition switch is on.

 

it has a ground terminal, a "load" terminal that goes to your fan, and a power terminal that is what gives the fan power

 

Where did you get it/them? Jeggs has a lot of switches. The blue would match my car too! Looks good guys, nice.

Thanks man! Sure

 

How do you keep the amps down throught the toggle? I have mine through a toggle, I have the power coming from the bat, to a toggle and out to the fan power line. The problem is that I keep losing the toggle switch. Is it because of to much amp going to the toggle? Should I use another power supply? Where if so? I think I have solved the problem by using a light switch!!! It may not look great, but it works. Any help?? By the way I keep the fan switch on when I drive.

 

check out my posts, you need a switch that can handle more

 

I replied, I think I gave all the info that would be needed. What do you think I should do?

 

i just meant my post in this thread. it is better to use a relay system but you dont have to. i would use 10 awg wire and get this switch - although i have this setup and am going to a dual relay setup.

I was wondering if the fan could handle the amps from the bat? I could use the toggle for the ground wire. Would I blow up my fan?

 

Looks nice and clean. Great job!

 

you really need to use a relay. and wire the switch into the COIL of the relay. so that when u flip the switch, the coil has current and activates the main switch in the relay. If u know how a relay works then this will make perfect sense to you. if not i can reply back with some diagrams.

 

Find out how many amps your fan runs on and run a hot to something with similar amperage in the fuse block, that kicks on when the car is started.
