Gotta like your website Alan! One of these days I must figure out how to create one.

Alan, what is with the two relays on your fan installation? With proper gauge wiring, one would seem sufficient to control a single fan. Is there something about the install that I'm missing?

If your fan kicks in a lot, the contacts wear out over time ... using two relays takes care of that.

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

That makes sense, I had simply never heard of one being wired that way. Thanks for the update.

Hey Alan-

I've spent way too much time reading over your electrical aticles, as I'm getting ready to rewire my truck.

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. wink

Hey, Nic

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.

Hey Alan-

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

Thanks.

Not really. I know I kept going back for more ... 1/2" and 1/4" split loom is what I used most of.
