How to wire my dual electronic fans

[MrRabbit24]

So I bought some electronic fans and I don't have a clue how to wire them up. I have 2 toggle switches but they only have 2 prongs off and on. If someone can show me a diagram how to use these 2 prongs switches thanks.

Sometime this week, I will be wiring an electric fan from an Intrepid. I will be watching this thread for any useful information.


FYI
Hayden Automotive 3654 Adjustable Thermostatic Fan Control usually $85 is on Amazon right now for $40

I figure you mean Electric fans. What fans are they? With any fan you should use always use a relay. Since you have two fans you should have two relays.

Are you planning to just use a switch to turn them on, a temp probe, both? Do you want the fans to work in tandem, sequential, independent?

 

[MrRabbit24]

Yea I have 2 fuses on each side I just need to know how to get the toggle switches to work the brand is Derae performance

 

[85GPLef41]

so are you planning to turn on the fans manually?

 

[MrRabbit24]

Yes manually

 

[CWPottenger]

If you just want to control fans with a switch only and independent then get two relays (I'd also get the sockets for neatness and future serviceability)

Personally I would wire it so that the switches are the negative side.

Get a minimum 30amp relay and probably 40amp for safety.

The relay is labeled with numbers 30 ,85, 86, 87, 87a

Wire the battery to connector #30
Wire the Fan positive lead to #87
Wire the Fan negative lead to a chassis ground
Wire a 12v Key on source to #86
Wire on side of your switch to #85
Wire off side of your switch to a chassis ground.
Pin 87a will not be used.

Both fans should be wired this way to be independent.
