With proper gauge wiring, one would seem sufficient to control a single fan. Is there something about the install that I'm missing? | | |

You can read all the details about it by going Here ... scroll down to Electric Radiator Fan Systems

It looks like terminal block #1 is only used for powering the alternator and starter, while #2 powers everything else. Is this correct? This is pretty close to what I'm planning, only I'm replacing #1 with a remote starter solenoid and then jumping that to a terminal block. I've been trying to get Mark Hamilton on the phone, but he's very popular. I haven't been able to break through the busy signal.  | | |

Yes ... Mark can get pretty popular -- just keep at it. Fridays may be best.
The only reason I have two terminal blocks (#1 and #2) are because I needed more contacts than only one terminal block would supply. It really doesn't matter what goes where on the T-blocks ... ANYTHING connected to either one is getting the same thing: 14 volts of pure power.

By chance, do you know how much loom you used with your initial wiring project?
Thanks.
