Electric Fan conversion
Ok guys..I am in the middle of dropping in an electric fan and a one piece driveshaft on my car. I am having a little bit of trouble figuring out how to wire in the electric fan into my cars electrical system. I am using the dual fan setup from a Maxima....do u guys know of any links or write ups that can help me???

With a switch you'll need to install a relay and switch. Run a hot lead to the switch then to the relay, and from the relay to the fan.
With a thermostat you'll need the thermostat switch and a relay. Power to the thermostat, to the relay to the fan.

ok well that raises some other questions then:
IF I run a switch..is it ok that the fans run FULL POWER ALL the time???
I am also concerned bc the switch i bought is only rated for 20 amps and supposedly the EL fans from the maxima are rated at around 30 - 40 amps.
If i decide to use a thermostatic switch..why cant i just tap into the front mount puller fan and run them together??

Get a big enough switch to handle the amps.
As for hooking it into the other fan???????Not sure how much power that system uses and can handle.
