I have an 85 Camaro Z28 and am switching to a serp set up and am losing the V-belt. I am wanting to put in a 16 electric fan and was wondering how to do so. If there as a website with step by step or if anyone can tell me how. Thanks as Im new to doing electrical.

I prefer just a simple toggle switch for mine on the dash. Very easy to wire up, and in firebirds theres a little trim panel perfect for a few toggle switches.

 

you dont run a relay . in my directions it explains a SAFE way to power your fan through a relay and a toggle. not using a relay is like driving with a lit match in 1 hand and a cup of gas in the other . stupidity is not covered by your insurence.

 

Neither is a wiring job that isn't exactly stock to the year, make, and model of your car, guess you didn't read the fine print.

 

nowhere in the ORIGIONAL post does it say anything about stock wiring . all it says is that he wants to add a 16" fan. maby you need to read the fine print

 

There's a 30A in-line fuse in my setup. When I said "run a toggle switch" I was referring to the post that you listed (It's a simple setup) and that it is an effective way to power a fan and that I prefer it over a temp. switch.

Ok Im completely lost now as everyone has a differnet thing going. I know i was going to run a switch and i was going to use the switch for the fog lights as I dont have any. Now is there an easy step by step as I am and never was good at wiring. I can wire a home but not a car. Weird eh

Anyways, here is a quick run down, let me know if you need more specifics.

Materials Needed:

Toggle Switch
In-Line Fuse Relay
Spool of 12 GA wire (copper stranded)
Wire ties ("zip ties")
"Butt" connectors (I prefer the style with heat shrink ends)
Terminal Connectors (They crimp onto the wire and will slip neatly onto your toggle switches terminals, it'll look like 2 or 3 blades on the back of the switch)
12 GA Wire Eyelet

Tools Needed:
Wire Strippers/crimpers (you know how to use these if you can wire a house)
Drill w/ bit
Wrench set
Small socket set

Directions:

1- Lay out the wire and cut. If using a lighted switch, you need 4 pieces of wire:
Wire A- From Junction Block (near radiator on pass. side) or battery to switch.
Wire B- From Switch to POS fan lead
Wire C- From Switch to interior ground (Steering column mount bolt works decent usually, remember to strip some paint for good connection)
Wire D- From NEG fan lead to an underhood ground.

2. Run your wires, hide them and secure them with the zip ties. Avoid sharp edges and sharp bends.

3. In Wire A, cut a spot that is easily accessible, and use butt connectors to install the In-Line fuse's leads.

4. Using terminal connectors, install the wires to the switch's back. Cut a hole in desires panel and mount switch.

5. Using eyelets, install the grounds at both the switch and the fan.

6. Install a 30A Fuse in the In-Line Fuse holder, be sure switch is in off position, and use an eyelet to connect Wire A to either the POS junction block or the POS battery terminal. (Junction block is easy to get to and a better choice for safety's sake).

7. Turn on switch and inspect fan to see if it is working properly

8. If it works, congrats. If not, post here.

Hope this helps, these boards usually aren't the arguement type ones. Lots of tech and that's how it should stay.
