Just wire it to a toggle switch. When you need it, just flip the switch.

It is not recommended to wire a cooling fan directly to a light relay as the fan may draw more current than the relay is rated for. It is safer and more reliable to use a dedicated fan relay and wiring harness designed for the specific application.

If Cooling fans work on my 1999 grand am why when it overheats don't they turn on?

The cooling fans turn on utilizing a temperature sensor and a relay. When the engine gets to a certain temperature the temp sensor closes and the cooling fans come on. Check fuses first. If you have a 12 volt test light, hook up the test light to the connector that goes to the cooling fans once the engine is warmed up and see if the light comes on. If it doesn't, the problem is in the power to the fans, check fuse, sensor and relay. If the light comes on and the fans don't, check for a proper ground (usually a green or black wire attached to a lug and bolted to the car chassis.

Where is the cooling fan relay on a 1986 Camaro?

I have a 86 camaro with a 2.8 L . The cooling fan relay on mine is located above the brake master cylinder and is bolted onto the firewall with two 9/32" bolts. There are two relays beside each other and the one for the cooling fan is closest to the fender. If you disconnect the harness from the relay, you can use a wire to jump across the hot terminal to the others one at a time until the fan turns on the check that this is the correct relay for your car.


What relay is cooling fan relay in 1999 escort ccm?

The cooling fan relay is under the air filter housing at the base of the strut housing. It is a little box with about 30 wires running into it. It is called the Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM). It contains relays for the cooling fan, Air Conditiloner and the Power Control Module. You might also want to know where the cooling fan sensor is at. It's screwed into the water outlet housing. The top hose of the radiator goes into it. It is one of 2 sensors. The sensor with 2 wires goes to the computer to run the cooling fan. The sensor with 1 wire goes to the gauge.

How do you hard wire headlights a basic diagram?

switch, relay ,light. use a separate relay for each light. switch sends power to relay, relay turns on light. the relay is so that the switch doesn't have to handle the power a headlight requires. auto parts stores have fog light wiring kits that come with all the parts you need, but they usually only use one relay, I always use two. there is a diagram here. http://www.rowand.net/Shop/Tech/images/HeadlightRelayWiringDiagram.jpg


Where is the cooling fan relay located in a 1995 Pontiac grand am Se?

It is one of the square relays on the firewall on the passenger side. Should be 3 or 4 relays depending on options. One is AC clutch relay, one is fan relay, one is fuel pump relay. Position varies by year and option so you need to check by wire color. Remove relay and bypass using a FUSED jumper wire between terminal #30 and # 87 to check for function of fan with key on
