- I installed an electric fan and thought I had my wiring scheme all figured out. Then I started second-guessing myself. I'm running a thermostatic switch and planned to only have it powered when the

- I recommend you connect it (fused) directly to the starter solenoid where the battery cable attaches: this allows it to be able continue cycling (if necessary) after you have driven your car. The th

- I recommend that you do NOT use the thermostatic sensor. A simple toggle switch, like the Lucas one for your instrument lights, could be made to fit the plugged Alpine choke hole, with a little woul

- Hi Mark, Probably the best way to go is to use a relay that is energized by the ignition, to switch the power to the thermostatic switch. Conveniently, the factory fuse panel (if you're using it) pro

- I'll make a correction to what I said (or at least, amend it)... As others have said, the thermoswitch may not like switching high currents for very long. You can reduce that problem by using the the

- Some more thoughts from someone who has both an electric and mechanical fan. My electric fan is operated by a dash switch - no thermostat. The advantage of this is you can anticipate the need for ex

- OK more confusing advice. Solder the thermostatic sensor to a radiator drain cock. Them install in the current drain position as this will prevent tube scuffing/leakage (providing of course that it

- The tie-wrapped sensor could probably be made to work OK if enough insulation was wrapped around it. I might try wrapping a split piece of radiator hose around the sensor and use a hose clamp to hol
