Wiring Derale Fan Controller - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I currently have a 2 Fal Fans with a Derale Fan controller on my s13. Everything works well but Im not sure how to wire it to IGNITION so the fans shut off when I turn off the car. It is draining my battery right now.
The closest i can see is the fusebox wiring harness but not really sure what the best option is.
Pictures would help.
Thanks!

I made a "Y" junction with the S13 wiper motor using male/female spade connectors.

Create it by having the split have one end male spade connector and other female, you connect the male to the factory female spade connector and the female you made connects to the male on the wiper motor, those join together to send signal to your fan controller ign on wire, wherever it may be.

This way you don't have to hack into the factory wiring at all.

I used two separate relays, and two separate toggle switches.
One for each fan.

That way I can toggle one on, and then the other if needed.
Also helps with longevity life of the fan motors.

I like this much better.

30amp relay
20Amp inline fuse
20-25amp toggle
And some 12 gauge wire!
