can slim fan be wired directly to battery?

like the title says. I would have an inline fuse but im not sure what size. I would also have a switch hooked up. Its not my dd and I only drive it around a couple times a week.

Look at the amp requirements of the fan. I'm not 100% sure, but it's probably less than 5 amps. If it blows and you know your wiring is solid, go a step higher with the fuse.

I've used jumper wires to test mine and it didn't hurt it so i say yeah.

i used a 15 amp switch and fuse when i did that to a buick skylark. check the gauge of your wire. if its a 12 gauge wire use 15-25 amp. if the gauge is around 20 then use a 5 amp.

Or you can buy an external thermostat from Advanced auto or other auto part stores and have it kick on/off according to the temperature. Wire it into a switched 12v source and its as good as factory.

why not just wire it to the factory wires? will do everything for you
