Default Re: Electric cooling fan question?

You want the feed side of the relay to bypass the ignition switch. The wire to trigger the relay "on" can be fed by the ignition switch, a toggle switch, or a fan thermostat. I would think a thermostat would be preferable, I understand the fans are not designed to run all the time.

I don't have a relay in front of me to tell you the numbers on the terminals to connect to. It should be available on Google if your harness didn't come with a schematic.

If your thermostat monitors radiator temp you might can let it run with ignition off. If it is driven by a sensor on the engine the fan will run a long time before it shuts off.
