Radiator fan on Toggle switch

[Andre93]

Alright so when I bought my car the guy had the Radiator Fan hooked up to a Toggle switch for some Reason and it just stopped working Last night. So how can I hook it back up to its Original state without Dumping cash I Don't have?

By reading a wiring diagram and restoring the way the factory wires were done. Or trace the wiring from the switch to where it was tied in and eliminating it. Use solder and heat shrink.

Clairify: The switch stopped working? Or, the fan?
If the switch stopped working, does the fan still operate at temp?

In the meantime, check your fuses. Check the original connections.
I'd leave it hooked up as it was when it was "working." Just find the culprit.
My 89 accord had a toggle in the dash for the fan to be on constant.
It's really not a bad idea.

Checked all my fuses this Morning and they're all good. And I'm Really not sure which stopped, So how can I check which gave Out?

Hook the fan to the battery and that will tell you if 9it still works. Im guessing the relay or sensor or something went out an the easy fix was to put it on a switch. I'd check those to if I was you and set it up stock.

Alright my friend told that I can Run a wire from the Toggle switch under my Dash to the Fuse box in the Kicker panel and the Other leading to the Fan. Is this true and if so can someone show me a Pic of what Fuse location I can use

Help a newbi out me, but I wanted 2 no if these 1 wires had 2 to do with the fan coming on while driving.. there's 2 wires infront of the trans.

i thought about doing this with the a/c fan if i ever removed the a/c. I'll keep watching this thread for more info.

My buddy hooked his str8 up 2 the ground on the tstat housing.

I can see an sleek aftermarket fan with more ccf of cff w/e it is. Moving more air, hooked up sttr8 to the ground always on is kinda nice. It will b quiet also.

Any body have Pics or link to help me Rewire it up to a 3 Prong toggle Switch? And is there a Fuse location I can use to do this?

I did this the other day with my ac fan. personally, I ran a wire off the battery, to a 30 amp inline fuse, to a two prong switch, and to the fan. grounded fan where the relay for the fan was. i was unsure of what fuse also, so I went straight off the battery.

You mind posting Pics? So I can get an idea of what to do this since I'm not good with Wiring stuff myself

Anybody have Pics or Links so I can Fix this???

A switch with three terminals usually means that it's a single pole, double throw switch. That is, one terminal, usually the middle, is switched between the other two terminals depending upon where the switch is. Since you only want to turn the fan(s) on and off, you only need to use "half" of the switch, the "common" terminal (usually the middle), and one of the others. Of course, this is all just guess work based on probability and experience; if whoever wired the switch did it simply as an on / off for both fans, then this information should be fine. However, it's possible they did something else entirely.

You need to find out how the old switch was wired and intended to operate before anyone can truly help you with any sort of certainty.
