Greetings all,

Thanks for the many comments on my two questions: fog lights and efan. The fog lights are in and working, and I'm now ready to wire in the E-fan. I have a couple of questions about wiring the E-fan;

On the fog lights, I ran power directly from the battery to the relay via 12ga wire + 30amp inline fuse.

The power wire going into the efan relay is thick - I'm guessing 8/10ga? Anyway, should I wire that also directly from the battery, or is there another obvious source of power for the efan in the engine bay? Do I need a bigger fuse than 30amp? The NAPA relay for the foglights is rated at 40 amp, and a number of people have commented on the power-sucking nature of the e-fan...

So -
source for power to efan?
wire size for power to efan?
fuse rating for inline fuse?

also; I'd like to test the fan before I cut it up, and put it in. Can I make a jumper wire for power directly to the fan? rating for the in-line fuse of a test wire like this? Are there commercial versions of such a thing that I should buy, rather than goof around with home-made doohickeys...?

Thanks in advance for the assist - I'm a mess of ignorance when it comes to electricity, so no answer is too basic to enlighten me.

Best,

Lanval
