Im using a 3 pole switch. I ran a wire from the power lead on the switch to positive on battery, ran ground lead to ground on battery, and ran a wire from the 3rd lead into my connector that is spliced into the blue/pink wire at the relay. Before I could even flip the switch it was blowing my inline fuse and sparking at the ground battery post. So then I tried a spare 2 pole switch with just power wire and the signal wire and that wouldnt turn it on...any ideas???

 

I used a 3 prong switch theres 3 prongs when the switch is off the prong labeled number 1 gets power the middle pole is the power for the fan and the 3rd is for the led in the switch and what size inline fuze are you running?

 

10 amp I believe.

 

I could be wrong here because I don't have a diagram available, but I believe the blue/pink wire is a ground signal from the pcm that activates the relay. What you would want to do is connect your 2 pole switch to a ground and to the blue/pink wire to activate the relay. Hopefully you haven't done any damage to anything already. I installed my switch using its own relay so I'm not messing with the factory controller side of the circuit.

 

You may be right. Ill try that. All the write ups i found on this site weren't very good because they left out the tiniest and most important details.

 

Got it working! For future reference for anbody on CF looking for advice, with a two pole switch you just run a wire off of the blue wire w/pink stripe at the relay box to one pole, then run a wire from the other pole to ground and that's it.

 

Glad to see it worked out for you!

 

Yeah thanks lol. I get frustrated to quick but that was a simple mod
