Default How to wire ac fan to manual switch.

First off I did search. Couldn't find anything that made sense.

Looking to wire the AC fan to a manual switch inside my jeep. It's a switch with a light in it. So I'd like to have that working too.

Thanks guys!

Here is a quick schematic for the dual electric fans.

Main Fan (Mustang Fan) has two speeds controlled through a dual pole dual throw switch (DPDT)... the HIGH speed is wired through a starter solenoid due to the high 60+ amp draw at startup. The LOW speed is wired through a 40 amp relay.

The Aux fan is a single speed unit but it is also controlled through a DPDT swtich. One side of the switch forces the fan ON and the other side lets it come on/off with the thermostat.

Both of these switches have an off position to kill the fan completely for deep water or during warmup.



(mustang and tarsus are the same fan)

This helps a bit, but I'm just looking for the aux fan.

on my 88 i ran wires from the temp. sending unit to a switch in the dash. those wires activate the relay and are easy to find, not sure if you can do the same on your 2000 model.
