Like the title says, is there anyway to just make the fans come on for a while or stay on the whole time for track use only? It seems there would be an easier way then to spend 70 bucks to have a switch.

 

I think with the hyper tech power programer you can, but i think thats like 300 plus dollars. Just go with the fan switch.

 

Theres no little part you can buy at radioshack for 50c like every other electrical peice on our cars that you can just stick in there and let the fans run? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

 

check out this switch. i just did it this weekend and it works great. i also added a switch to mine to control mine manually.

A $3 switch and $3 in wire too expensive for ya?

 

for 2001+ take wire from pin 42 on blue connector to ground through a switch. I spliced in and
ran the wire though the rubber grommet below
pcm to get inside the car.

I have a 98, and how do you just need a switch and a wire? What wire do you cut and splice to the switch? Thanks for the help.

 

Where is this blue connector??????? Im guessing these are 2 different ways. These seem pretty vague. So from the blue connector pint 42 I take and put a wire in there, run it to one side of a switch, run another wire back to a ground anywhere and I can have the fans turn on whenever? Or do you have to go about it the long way listen in the site? Thanks alot

 

Stop playing a guessing game and buy the switch. You'll thank yourself later!!

Im short on money and 3 dollars is slightly cheaper than 70 <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

 

For about $20 you can have a thermostatic fan switch that turns the fan on automatically so you aren't fumbling with a switch. Plus there is the added benefit of not having to run the wiring into the cabin of the car. This is what I have on mine. The free thermostat mod combined with my fan switch set to come on at 180* works awesome.

Thanks but I just got done, so you're a little late! Anyway went to radioshack and got a switch, had some wire at home. Took me a couple hours to figure it out but i just found that circuit breaker and put the wire down in it, then ran it inside and hooked the switch up to it then i took other other end of the wire under the steering wheel and found a hot red whire that is on all the time in a wire harness, so I just stuck the bare wire in there and used a very small screw to hold all of it in place, now I cant even pull it out if I try. Switch works fine, no problems at all, looks nice too. Total cost $2.00

LOL, I believe that fan switch write up was taken from one of my posts. Cool. If you use tap-in squeeze connectors on the wiring harness you can isolate the low and high speed fan wires and run into the cabin to a switch. This way you are grounding the relays like the pcm does, and you don't need a power source. If you want full time automatic control, then programming or a thermostatic control would be the better option.
I've got a write up and switch diagram in Excel if anyone needs it for clarification I'll send it to you. It's pretty easy.
