*saves schematic* Slick. I may use that if I install an EFK.

Default Just my .015$ but I'd run a separate circuit with a 35amp fuse, a separate thermostat,

preferrably an adjustable version and its own relay for an EFK. The a/c fan/fan relay isn't the place to get power for an EFK IMO.

I meant to say use that as base for the wiring, because you are correct.

Default ditto. adjustable temp switch with my SPP EFK. <$30 from Jegs/JCWhitney/Summit Racing

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/10901/efk_adjustable_temp_switch.jpg"></center><p>
I mounted it under that PITA to put back on cover for the power steering fluid reservoir, tstat is in the fins of the rad, and it's powered by 75X under the dash with a ground near where its mounted.

I have it adjusted right were it'll shut off while driving, but kick on at idle (when up to normal temps), which is definitely lower than when the a/c fan kicks on. I'm sure it's later than with stock parts, but not by much.

The fan is powered by the 75X?? Or the relay is?

Default fyi, my schematic is for manually controlling the existing electric fan.

basically i will be able to push an OEM button on the dash and have the fan come on...great for cool downs or in between dyno/drag/auto-x runs.

btw, im not a "fan" of EFKs. :P
