    Default Electrical question

    Ok this is about to be a retarded diagram but here it goes

    Wire from switch wire to fan
    ------------- -------------


    _______________
    l l
    l l
    l battery l
    l l
    l_______________


    Okay. now how do i get the wire from the switch connected to the battery to get pwer, then from the battery to the fan with the switch still being able to turn the fans on and off? cuz i tried but the fans will stay on all the time whether the switch was on or off.

    stupid thing moved al my text back together.

    If you use a tiny little switch, and large gauge wire, the power going into the switch will defeat the switch. That's probably the reason the fan stayed on, or you had it wired wrong. In theory, the order is battery - switch - fan.

    Oh okay. Maybe its damaged? I had an air pressure switch that was supposed to switch off power when it hit a certain pressure. It was damaged and did the same type of thing (compressor ran all the time). I defeated it with a manual switch (same concept as what you used, RandomGuy, with the fuse box rigging).

    i think threehundred is close. hasanu way off lolz

    this is what i got. i got a switch to turn my electric fans on. but the switch gets no power since its not connected to the battery. but when i connect tit to the battery for power, the fans come on anyway without turning on the switch.

    hey smart guy... why dont u do what we said ..dumbass lol.. put it in ur FUSEBOX under switched current or wahtever..

    whenever u turn the car off the "on position" the radiator fan = "off"

    hence 'ghetto rig"
    does the same thing that this so called switch does, but automatically

    let me break it down once again:
    Key in ON position= fan on
    Key in OFF position = fan off
    No key in slot = Fan off
    Key in Anus = fan off

    I think you may have a bad switch. Take the wire and tie it into the the fuse that goes to the windshield wipers and if the fan turns on and off with the ignition then the switch is the problem.

    Your switch is either undersized (fans are drawing too much amperage) or there is something in the fan (fan draggin on something or fan motor starting to give out) causing it to draw more amps than normal and the switch is blowing.
