Hey guys, wondering if this setup will work...
Because I'm on a huge budget I'm wondering if I were to just wire the low speed setting of my 3.8 Taurus Fan (I'm running a 2 core aluminum radiator, so I'm sure this should be efficient for my 347) like this...
Running 10 gauge wire from the hot lead to a 30amp buss circuit breaker, to a 30 amp switch inside the dash, back out the firewall onto the solenoid. And of course, running a 10gauge wire from the fan to somewhere on the fender or something as a ground. Would this work because from what I hear, the low setting on the taurus fans draw anywhere from 10-15 amps, so I don't think the initial startup (shouldn't be anymore than 30 amps) would burn this budget setup up would it? let me know thanks

I think it sounds like the setup itself would work.. but I personally would prefer to use a relay & a circuit breaker instead of just a circuit breaker. That way you just use your toggle switch to control the relay, and let the relay do the messing with the voltages.. just my opinion, but bump for you.
