I will be installing an electric fan this weekend, and was wondering were would be the best place to get the 12v switched?

I used the Derale adjustable ran controller on my dual electric setup. The part number is DER-16749 and I bought it at Late Model Restoration, but you may be able to find it at a better price somewhere else. It comes with a temp sensor that I ended up putting in the heater supply hose. Google it, I have had really good luck with it so far.

You're going to use a relay and controller, right?

What kind of load does switched circuit need to be able to handle and where is the location of the component it's going to?

I'm going to put in a DCC controller FK50P. I was thinking of maybe putting right underneath the cold air intake? Any other suggestion for a location?

Nice choice.

You want it close to the battery. That's the only issue with under the CAI (I'd have put mine there too otherwise).

Inside the bumper cover would function all right.

If you have a low coolant sensor, you can use that for the switched power on a Delta unit.

Right on, Thanks HISSIN50. I will install it as close to the battery.

Sounds good. PWM is kinda finicky so you want to keep the load-side wiring on the shorter side (otherwise I'd have mounted my controller inside the car if I could have).

I thought you did fine. We never know what folks are up to and we try to be helpful with suggestions.
