Switch for 2nd fan.

This is the situation, I removed the A/C from my 91 Z and now the second fan never turns on. What I want to do is set the second fan to turn on by the flip of a switch. Now here is my Question, what would be the proper way to do it? Can I make a jumper through the relay? If so, where the hell is the relay and how where sould I jump it? Searched for an hour on Saturday but could not find it. I really don't want to just hook the fan directly to the battery through a toggle switch if possible. Any idea's will be appeciated.

Oh yeah, I searched the archives and couldn't find anything really usefull.

Thanks again!

well heres what I did with mine...
1. got a remote fuse holder and spliced it into the power lead going to the relay.(Just buy a regular fan relay there 8 bucks)
2. Then I ran a wire from the relay to the switch inside the car. I personally have a lighted panel so I ran it to the power side of the switch.
3. ran another wire back to the relay to open the relay whe the switch flips.
4. ran the output wire from the relay to the fan.
Depending on the wires route to the switch you might want to splice another fuse holder in to the wire after the relay going to the switch, Just put in a 5 amp or less. Its a low power flow so don't use a high amp fuse.


Help this helps...
