mine doesn't turn on because of my cooling system needs t be recharged. is there any why i can just hard wire my electric fan to a toggle switch?

 

do a search on here there were a couple of guys who wired theres to a toggle. im doing mine next week im just takin two t splices and runnin the wires through the hole my hood pop cable is and mounting to the side of my center console

 

I searched and couldnt find the right thread... do you mind helping out? Thanks.

 

electric fan
Wait....what? Your electric fan doesn't run because, what?

 

it wont run because the aircon needs charged im guessing the pressure swith is not switching the aircon on

 

Your e-fan should turn on regardless of your AC coolant condition. If it will not turn on, you should look into replacing your e-fan relay or see if you have fuses that are blown.

 

I've junked my AC equipment plus my mechanical fan, but my electric fan still switches on and off when required.

I also have been searching for the correct thread for adding a toggle switch for my fan. I hooked a switch up to the white and black wires that go to the fan, jumped the wires on the a/c compressor and the switch still does not turn the fan on. I have found a couple threads on installing the switch, but have been unable to find the correct one again.

 

yea im lookin for it too........

 

btw mine is a 98 is it different?

hmm... good but i only have a 2 way switch and want it 2 be off as auto. and on as manual override

 

Okay then grab some inline blade style fuse holders, (2 of them) some 12 ga wire (about 10 feet worth) a 3 way splice and some shrink wrap/electrical tape.


Run constant power into the switch (using a fuse) then run that constant power out of the switch(using a fuse) and splice into the thick green wire that powers the fan. wrap it all up so nothing gets into the electrical connector. Bam your done.

off would just let it run like normal, on would force power to the e-fan.

Altho i do HIGHLY encourage a 3 way switch they are only $4/$5 bucks for a 30 amp

 

ill be using a relay with a 2 way 3 prong switch cause im building a switchbox (from fitchva)
