I removed my AC, so ive been using the AC switch to activate the cooling fan whenever its getting too hot. I want to make it so that both come on at the same time, but I want to make sure im doing it right. I am going by the vFAQ, which says simply run a wire from the two relays. One of mine looks a bit wierd, so do I have this right?

Is that the VFAQ that has you switch the hot side. If so it's really a bad idea since the switch then carries the current draw for both fans.

What do really want to do is switch the pull the ECU pins going to the fan relays to ground just like the ECU does to turn the fans on.

If I have time I'll take a look again at the 2G wiring for how to do this better and than VFAQ.

Its the one that tells you how to make a switch for them both to come on, but since im just using my A/C switch, I should be able to just run a wire from one relay to another, like pictured, but I wasnt sure if I had the right ones.
