My car has some electrical problems that seem to be getting worse. My symptoms started with my one of my headlights not working, which then progressed to nothing but one corner, and now nothing but taillights and brake lights. I have already replaced the column mounted switch, all fuses are okay and never had a problem with them blowing. What i want to do right now is wire up a standalone lighting circuit as well as one for my radiator fan. I have one rad. fan which i had wired up previously to a switch inside the car, powered off the radio power wire. When my lighting system began failing (or failed, n the fashion in which it did), i spliced one bulb from each headlight into the power wire for the rad. fan. while the fan alone ran fine, with the addition of two headlight bulbs, my switch heated up and melted the insulation around its connectors, this may have been from my stepping down from 16 to 22 gauge going into the switch. i did that because i didnt have terminals to fit the bigger wire. Now while my fan setup was probably alright, had it not been powered off the radio power wire...adding headlight bulbs definitely isnt. I Want to run two circuits, powered directly off the battery (unless theres a better option to source power from, besides the oem wires, lol). i have great batt. terminals with enough inputs for auxilary whatevers. so, from the battery i assume i should have a step down device of some sort, transformer, relay or something, to make sure i dont over or underpower my fan/lights with the current coming str8 from the battery. i would need optimal/properly gauged wires with clean connections...clean grounds..dont need high n low beams on the lighting, i can just use the hibeam bulbs.. turning signals are another story...the ones in the back work, thats enough, i live in st. croix ppl, 84 sq. miles..looks like a . on a map. i can get away with no front turn sigs....so guys help me out...i need to know the specs on properly custom wiring up headlights and radiator fans!
