Most people would wire it off the ignition switch or a separate toggle but this way on a hot day if you stop the car and shut it off the fan will be able to stay on until the coolant is cool enough and the fan wont turn on until the temp is high enough which will help the motor warm up quicker. I plan on getting the parts together to do this in a couple weeks on my Oldsmobile cutlass. | |
