Would be pretty easy to find ( its for a fan relay ) Unfortunately at the moment I am unable to switch anything off of the battery due to still trying to find a nice way to wire the remote battery lines in the engine bay without getting 34290823908 diff fuse boxes ( hopefully i can just find a single Bolt type dist block )


Anyway , What can I use as a 12v ign on towards the pass side engine bay -the kit has a 30a fuse for this line ) . Am I able to use the alternator fuse ( since there is a area with a bolt/screw that I could connect it too? ) , I believe the white wire from my maft is going to that location also .

I wasnt sure if i could locate it here for ignition on then but the "piggy back" 30a fuse the relay kit comes with.

Thanks.
 
What exactly is this for?

Steve


I have 2 spal fan's . One of them is hooked up to the pass side stock location wire , My "a/c" fan plug is totally missing . Not even sure what happened to the wire since its no longer on the harness :/ ..

I ended up buying a relay kit ( standard , no thermo switch etc .. ) anyway I need to find a ign on so the fan starts and stops when the car turns on and off. ( Its for the relay , 12v constant , ground , fan 12v , ign on )

thats the kit I purchased.

Thanks steve ,

Brian.

( when i got the car back after being "fixed" aside from the numerous problems it had a switch that was on my console , no relay , fuse , etc .. The switch had gotten so hot it melted the plastic on the console and i was sick of having to turn it on and off )

I figured this was one route I could go , everything else is hooked up just not the 12v ign because I have been unable to locate one or find someone who could tell me where the 12v ign is without having to tap a wire.
 
Much depends on how you wire the relay. I assume this is the same kit.

You already have access to 12v power from the IG2 ignition circuit at the factory radiator fan relay (pin4 blue/black) or the condensor fan change over relay (pin3 blue/green).

So you would run the red fused wire to the battery, the blue load wire to the fan. The black wire to ground and the yellow wire to one of the existing factory relays to tie into the ignition circuit.

That would cause the relay to switch on whenever the ignition switch was on or cranking and feed power from the red wire to the fan

Thanks steve for all of your help , one last littttle question.

Which is pin 4 :D . looking down on the relay from the pass fender 2 top 2 bottom ( bottom goes out a little further for the clip or whatever ).


If anyone could direct me in the location of pics with a relocated battery and how its held togethor in the engine bay ( so i can get an idea of what fuse box to use etc , since ill need at least 3 fuses for the mpi and the other 2 which I forget atm ) I have seen posts on it but No pictures and I am kind of uh , slow unless i have pics.

I have no idea without looking it up again other than it's the blue wire with the black stripe. That's why I listed the colors.
Generally they don't use the same color wires on more than one pin of a connector. Since your looking for a 12v source that only show up when the ignition is on you can verify it with your multimeter.
