S13 Electric Fan Wiring

[igreek]

I'm using the diagram below (found online) to wire my 2 electric fans in my S13. The fans are 80 watts at 12 volts. I found that Amps are Watts/Volts, so that would be 6.8 amps per fan; 12.6 total. The rocker switch I bought is good for 30 amps. Do I have to run the relay in there? I have it like that now and it isn't working.

Yet, now that I think about it, I might have connected the switch and 30 off the relay both off 12 volt source. Should 30 off the relay be run up off the 12 volts like in the diagram? I'm using 12 volts off the radio, as the battery is in the hatch. Thanks

i hate manual switches. Why do i hate them? Because i forget to turn it on. What would happen if i forget to turn it on? The fans wont work which will cause overheat lol

How do you forget to turn them on?

I never had issue's with mine. Besides, my switch is where my E-brake is at.


But i saw that same diagram here on zilvia about Electric fan wiring too. And iirc, the 20a fuses are in the wrong section of the diagram. Not sure where it is now.
