OK guys, my car will just not cool down enough to stay consistent for brackets in this heat.

Gonna put in a manual fan switch, but after looking at shoeboxes schematic of the wiring...i am completely lost. Me and wiring, well, we are not friends.



Using this diagram.....will my cooling fans operate as normal, along with the benefit of manually activating them? or will they be manually activated ONLY?

Also what kind of activation switch do you have to use...I assume one that will have 2 "ON" settings, one for low speed, and one for high speed???

any help is much appreciated!

Just get a switch from SLP. It is one of the best investments and it is tooooo easy to install. A child could do it and not mess it up.

hells yeah, I will look into that. didn't know someone already made one. Thanks bro!

Only problem you might have is getting it through the firewall. I already had a hole there so it was no problem. It is money well spent. Here is the link http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=63011

if its plug and play, and the least i have to worry about is drilling a hole....thats fine with me, lol...where was the hole in the firewall you went thru...if its on the pass. side, i have my N20 feed line running thru there.

I put one on the drivers side close to the steering column for my gauges. It plug right in between the factory harness that is shown in your first post.

i assume it has a setting for high speed and low speed?? what about LEDs or anything like that, on the actual switch itself??

My94TransAm

Yes it has hi/low/off. And it has no LEDs. I put mine in the ash try on the drivers side where I was able to mount it without drilling any holes in my counsel.

A little trick I did was to cut the fan wire so I didn't have to drill big hole in the firewall and could feed the wire through. Just make sure you soder it back and tape it up real good.

I have one in mine Beau, you could have just asked me I'd have hooked it up for you. It's easy. Forget the fact that my car was down with electrical problems at the track. . .

Just stop by radio shack and pick up a DPDT switch (2.99-4.99) and if you want lights pick up two of them in the same section of radio shack for 1.99 each. 20 minutes and under $10 and you're done. If you wanna do it just let me know.

I did this on my car with a switch from Radio Shack. What you want is a DPDT center off switch. Then you wire it just as shown in the diagram and you can run them at low speed or high speed. Your fans will still turn on by themselves when needed, if it overheats or you turn on the a/c. Just remember to turn them off when you shut the car off, they will run even with the ignition off from this switch.

Two things:

One person mentioned that their SES light comes on. On Shoebox you will notice that there is a seperate diagram for OBDII cars:

Notice that there are resistors used to keep the SES light from coming on. I used these in my car and haven't had the SES light come on.

The other thing is where to put the wires through the firewall. There is a grommet in the firewall that works perfect right behind the PCM. Just remove the two bolts holding down the PCM and slide it out and you will see the grommet. Remove the kick panel under the glove box to get to the wire after you feed it through. Hope this helps.

The SLP switch reduces all things that might could go wrong. It was wotrht it to me to spend the $75 and not worry about messing the wireing up. Just my .02.

Werd man...and everything operates as normal otherwise, fans still operate off of what the PCM tells it to??

maybe give you a holler and this week and let you wire that bad boy up!

you can have it reset if you get tuned or have someone who can reset it for you

Everything will function as usual when you have the switch off, it just adds the ability to turn them on whenever you want to.
