Default Another electric fan question...

Ok I can not get my 92 fan to come on whatsoever. So, I want to install a switch in the cab. My question is this. I have a blank area on the dashboard switch under the cluster where the rear wiper switch would be. Could I get a module such as this...


and use one of those switches to control the electric fan?

What is the draw of the fan? What will the switches handle? Guess I might have to use another relay. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You can only 2 of the 4 switches that you have there. You can only use the one for the fog lights. (first switch) and the third on for the trans. The one for the rear window defroster have a built in timer to shut off after 5- 8 mins. and the rear wiper is not set up correctly ether unless you can figure it out. But just run a 30 amp relay and you will be fine. But, you should make sure that the e-fan works before you wire it in. Just run 2 wires from the batter (+ & -)

The e fan does work, me being a dumb *^#^ it took half of my fingernail off when I hooked it straight to the battery. I tried to jump the relay, how exactly do you bypass it?

Electric fan solved. The fuse looked like it was in and wasn't. Four years ...
