Re: [DML] (Re:) Radiator Cooling Fan Rewire

Hi Dave

Actually I wired up mine to run on two relays, but rather than modify the sockets, I used a pair of trailing sockets and crimped on the spade terminals to the wires. I found some really nice DIN relays with integrated blade fuse socket, and you don't really need a 5-pin relay (the centre one is not present on these new ones).

To light the fan-fail light when the fans are on, you need to use a pair of diodes BTW. Long protracted explanation via e-mail if interested!

I ended up sabotaging the hot start relay socket terminals and after going to three different auto parts stores finally found a five pin relay.
