Car wont shut off LOL!!!

[Ryan91Saleen]

i was driving my car today for the fist time in 3 months and i put that new proform fan in and i love it. but i was driving for a while and i stoped to get gas and me car wouldnt shut off.. i fliped my switch for the fan cause i have it wired for on and off by my left leg and as soon as i shut the switch off my car turned off wtf?

Where did you tap the wiring for the switch. First place to look.!!!

 

[Ryan91Saleen]

i hooked everything up like it said i think lol but i hooked the switch to the fan, to a ground on the fuse box, and a postive for the light

 

[Ryan91Saleen]

i i forgot to mention that when i turn the fan switch on the car turns on like when the key turns on when you can hear the fuel pump what is wrong with this thing?

Let's start from the beginning. You Have a switch, the motor and I assume a relay. Where are your wiring connections at?

 

[Ryan91Saleen]

i have the ground going to the battery,the wire that goes to the switch that turns the fan on and off for to the switch to the fan, the switch is grounded to the fuse box,the fan is hooked to a relay that they provided, and the fan is hooked up for power to the starter relay thing that is in front of the battery and the smae for the light power on the switch.

Ok First Dont ground anything to fuse box so as to rule that out Change this first ground it somewhere else.

Where are you pulling the power from for the Relay? Off the starter solinoid?

A buddy of mine had a elec fan on his car the previous owner tapped into the positive side of the coil to power the fan thats not good for obvious reasons But the not so obvious reason was when you shut the car off it wanted to keep running because the fan motor was producing currant and energising the coil. I think the way your fan is wired it is keeping power to the soliniod untill you turn fan off so i would pull power right off the battery for the fan also.

yea yea shawn, you can say its me,

the fan and switch power is hooked to the starter soliniod but whats funny when i turn the fan switch on the car goes to the accesery mode bu i cant shut the car off until i flip the switch?

Well I would rewire it and it should solve the problem. Pull your power off the Battery and not off the starter soilinoid and dont ground it to the fuse box just to be safe. Obviously something is whacked.

You can pull your main power from the solenoid, I have mine there. Hook it to the side the + batt. cable is hooked to, its the same thing as pulling directly form the batt. Get you switching voltage from a switched 12v source in the fuse box. Use a test light and turn the key on and off to find this. You want key on power only for the switching side of the relay. This side will not pull many amps at all. Maybe 2amps. Ground to bare metal, wherever its easiest. The connection needs to be tight.

 

[Ryan91Saleen]

but why does my ignition turn on when i flip my fan switch on?

 

[5.0Droptop]

because something is wired wrong.

 

[Ryan91Saleen]

i found that my ground for my fan was loose but i did start the car and it didnt do it maybe this ficed it?

 

[Black1987Stang]

sounds good to me, sounds like u had it wired wrong the first time
