Thermo Fan Wiring
Hi guys I am wiring up a thermo fan, I have attached the wiring diagram that came with it but what i want to do is have a switch where I can have it run off the thermo switch but also if i need to manually override it so it comes on straight away. I have shown the switch in the diagram, does anyone knwo where i wire the switch into? thanks.


I have the wire going into 86 hooked onto the power connection of my 3 position switch.
Position 1 is hooked onto the thermal switch.
Position 3 is hooked onto a continous power supply
Position 2 is an 'OFF' position.
When the switch is up, everything runs of the thermal switch.
When the switch is in the middle, the fan is off (i.e. for water crossings)
When the switch is down the fans are continously on

I have an over ride on mine to switch it of if I dunk it in a creek or something

There is no substitute for cubic inches

Sorry mate, was off for a couple of days.
?Yes that is correct. Except for my always on position I wired a direct power supply (not off ignition).
Personal preference. I figured if I come close to overheating I can turn the engine off, leave the fans on and restart car in 10 minutes to recycle around the cooler water.
Probably not much of a difference though.
