> I am looking at a manual switch only. You might want to reconsider that, Carl. I used a manual switch for many years, and I was forever forgetting to turn it off, or worse, turn it on. Feels really stupid to be sitting at long traffic light and realize that the smoke drifting through the intersection is actually steam from your radiator. Being too stubborn (& cheap) to buy any of the many automatic switches on the market, I finally made my own little trigger circuit from scrap electronic components and an old gauge sender. Another of those "Why didn't I do that sooner?" moments! > C2/87 to Fan also indicator lamp (probably brown/white as well) > > ?? from ?? to Switch to W1/85 (when key on) - what color? And where > connected? Start from the 'green' circuit (ie fused, controlled by ignition switch). Or if you prefer, add another fuse fed from the white circuit. Color is kind of up to you, maybe green to the switch and then green/slate or what-have-you to the relay. I'm not slavish about having all the wire colors unique (which is good, because all the wires in my original wiring harness have faded to tan & black). > Relays are my nemesis. am I correct?
