where did you guys mount your elec. fan switches?

[Curse]

It would be my lack of faith in the controller that would make me want a switch (I install them on cars with controllers, as a back-up of sorts).

I have a controller and a switch, I trust the controller, I just complete control of the fan. I’m a control freak.

on my old '87 Firebird Formula, i had the e-fans set up to use a factory-style thermo switch and only had another switch as an override...i think that is the safest way to wire 'em up. for a little bit, i didn't have the thermo switch and i remember a few times on the way to work i almost burnt up that poor lil TPI 305...

I got on of those ashtray switch things.

Where did you get that? And how much was it?

so you can kill it when you want. or forget to turn it on and burn everything up

That's why I ditched mine... I went through 2 switches and risked burning it up LOL

I have a switch as an override just in case my controller stops working. I drilled a hole in the center consol right next to the cigarette lighter and put a toggle switch in there to a relay. I can still keep my change in the ash tray and the lighter is still accessable. It's tucked away and really easy to get to. I used 10 or 12 gauge wire btw.
