oh this is simple


I did it a couple days ago.


-Take out your pcm and find "RED"
-Find wire # 10
-splice into it.
-Run a wire to your switch
-Run a good ground to your switch
-turn on ignition
-hit the switch
Enjoy.

Its really that simple Ill send you pics of my set up if you want.

What would you do to run both of the fans?
Would it be safe to run both wires (10 and 11) on the same switch?
Would it really be that much more beneficial to run both fans?

I was actually thinking the same.... I guess you could try and hook both hot wires up... dont see that hurting anything.

I could be wrong.

Those same wires are also located in a weather pack connector on top of the passenger side wheelhouse where they connect to the forward lighting harness and run to the relay box.

I followed the instructions on fbody.com, except I routed my hot wire all the way through my amp/subs power line up to the battery.

I'd highly recommend an LED light with this as well, as it seems easy to leave it on when you get out of the car ask me how I know!
