When the hell did you get a 4th gen?! And I thought I sold out...

Ahem, anyway... Check your fan. Should have a red and black wire going to it, or whatever color combo. run a wire from the positive side to a 12 volt source. BE careful though, cause it can draw up to thirty amps. Put a switch in the circuit somewhere, and mount all pretty like in the cabin somewhere. HAve fun!
