Yes I use it all the time when Im driving. Be careful when using it to stage, it drains the battery fast.
I cant remember where I found how to install the switch.
Its so easy though, all you have to do is find the relay wire for the fan, wire it to a switch, then you ground it.
Do a search to find the right wire.

anybody ever have problems with this mod? My 2003 GT has a two speed fan motor. I was woundering what would happen if I wired up a switch to say the high speed fan and while I had it on the computer put on the low speed fan? Will the fan motor be okay if both speeds were set on at the same time?

On my saturn (DD) my fan stopped coming on for some reason and the car started to overheat. So I wired it into the fuse box but not on a switch and the fan runs all the time to keep it cool. I have no problems with it while its on but it makes the car shut off funny it stutters when you turn it off
