I installed my DCC FK-35 fan controller today. I wired it up how the instructions instruct you to do.

I bought the car w/the dual electric fans already installed so I rerouted the ground wire to the ground points the controller specifies & the power wire how the controller specifies. Both fans were spliced together previously so I kept it that way.

The previous owner had the fans running all the time. They were wired via a single wire right to the key. Yes, wired to the steering column.
So I cut that wire & ran the power for the controller from that. I don't think it's a fault controller as I put the 13 & 14 pin jumper in for the fan to run at 10% to see if the controller works & it did, but the fans never come on when the car gets up to operating temp nor do they run at 50% when you turn the car on like the instructions say they will.

Now for the weird problem...my aftermarket gauges now stay lit even if I don't have the lights on. The gauge lighting is wired to the illumination wire on my head unit. I did not touch any other wiring other than the fan & the ingnition wire to the radio where I ran the ignition wire from the controller.

Anyone have any idea why the controller isn't working as it should & why my gauges are staying lit now?
