I decided to swap in a set of electric fans from a taurus. My question is,who can tell me the best way to wire it all up? I would like to set it up with relays and fuses but I also want to have a manual on/off switch on the dash so I can kill the juice when I am crossing deep water. The car that I pulled the fans off of at pull-a-part had them set up on relays with 40 amp fuses an a thermal switch. The crappy thing is that on the old 92' there are no spare,unused relay slots in the distribution box that I could tap into. So I will have to stard from scratch. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Get a stand alone maxi fuse holder and wire it? :shaking:

run a hot wire from your ignition to the dash switch, then to an in line fuse (this could be close to the switch or where ever would be easily acessable) then to the fan.

are they standard size fuses or mini fuses? they have add a circuit mini's that you can use one of the slots with a fuse in it just pull the fuse
put the add a circuit in it has 2 slots , one for the original size fuse and one for your switch
run the add a circuit to the switch out the switch to one relay for low then another relay for high , a 3 way switch works best for this
on-off-on so you dont have to have 2 different switches for low and high

Here is the diagram I came up with when I did mine. Works great. I got all the parts from Napa. I believe I have all the part#'s for it you just have to check out the small build thread I have in the sig.
Good Luck

Thanks for all your help guys. I ended up getting my hands on a bank of relays with inline 30 amp fuses already in place on the power side. I set it up where i have a dash mounted toggle switch for each fan that simply provides a ground for the relay when switched and the relays are hot all the time. So far it works great. I ran it all weekend at Mudstock and didn't have any problems.
