Simplifying fan wiring

[shadowcorp]

I had to much free time at work today so I made 3 images that can be easily printed out to make it easier if your wiring a fan for the first time. The first is a complete diagram, the second is a large picture of the relay diagram and the third is a more in depth explanation and some extra info.

I'm sure that I made some mistakes and want to make a better one at home that isn't with MS paint lol. So if you have any suggestions please feel free to leave them below and I'll try to edit and fix them as fast as I can as long as there's interest.

Quick question: any problems running it without a relay, but with a fuse going through the positive wire to the battery? (12v switch, 35amp in-line fuse, wired straight to the battery, switch on ground wire [grounded on the chassis].)??

it will eventually melt the switch from the load.

Thanks Bill.

Off to buy a relay, lol, good write-up for ppl with electrical-comprehension deficiencies.

And you'd be surprised how much you end up forgetting to turn it on

nice, thanks!

more info (specially with big colorful drawings) is never a bad thing lol

i tried to tell everyone this but they rather ghetto rig it to the ignition.

Yea I know, the worst thing is electrical shorts from shit like that can be the biggest pain in the ass depending on how ghetto said rigging is.
