DCIV wanted his condenser fan to be on all the time and his front mounted flex a lites to be switched via a temperature switch. Since he already had a low temp thermostat i suggested he get a low temp switch commonly sold for fords and GM's.
First I tapped one of the holes in the radiator to fit the GM switch and wired the switch to the HI relay via the oem harness. I also had to ground the radiator since this switch uses its body as a ground and the radiator is isolated from the car chassis. The ground also got wired to the oem harness connector where the oem switch was connected. The low temp switch now takes the place of the oem HI relay switch. (the low is just used to plug the hole)
Next i wired the Flex a Lite fans to the oem wires that once powered the oem fan. The polarity was reversed on these because the fans are front mounted pushers instead of the oem puller............
I then wired the condensor fan to the wires that once went to the resistor and made a couple modifications to them............
And here you can see the whole setup can be removed from the car by simply unplugging 1 oem connector......Or you can remove just the condenser fan by unplugging 1 oem connector........
Also, i went ahead and drew up a new schematic diagram so if someone works on this 5 years from now, they are not scratching thier head. If i had one of these for every wiring abortion i have come across, i would be a happy man with a few less gray hairs.
