fan to switch
I swear sleeper had a tech on this..but I guess not
I have just totally confused myself on how to do it without using "acc" There has to be a way to do it without using acc.I dont care if it turns on when the key is turned..I'd rather just turn it on when I notice its gettin hot..
How would I have the schematic made out here..

RE: fan to switch
Nope. I never wrote a tech atrical, but what the hell. I'll do that right now.
All info is above the pictures
What you need
14 (or 12) gauge wire (about 12 feet of it)
A toggle switch
Electrical tape
Wire cutters
Drill with drill bit
What you do
Cut the 12ft. wire in half.
Then there is a rubber plug right beside the MAP sensor.
(Auto Tansmision People)
Take it out and cut a slit in it so you can feed the wires through
(Manual Transmission People)
Feed the wire through the hole where your speedometer cable is
Then you can now feed both the wires through the hole in the rubber plug and grab the 2 wires and pull them where you want to mount the switch.
Take the drill and drill the proper sized hole for the switch and plug the 2 wires into the switch.
Now use zip ties to hid the wire so it looks cleaner and you also don't rip them out.
Now go into the engine bay and route the wires so they are protected and not able to be seen.
Now dissconnect your negative battery terminal.
Cut the fan connecter making sure to leave enough wire for yourself to connect the wiring. (also check to make sure the fan is pulling and not pushing air by plugging wither end into the battery)
Now connect one line of the wire to the negative side of the battery, and the other wire to the fan.
Now connect the other side of the fan wiring to the continuse power of the starter solenoid.
Make sure all your connections are good then put tape on them (stops you from getting a nice shock)
Re-connect the battery, flip the switch and see if its pulling right. If not then you have to switch the wiring over so it will run the right way.
If you want more pictures or info let me know
