Craig, All,
Looking at the circuit diagram I think I can 'extract' the info for only a second fan. But am I correct in thinking when comparing your diagram with what I've done, the relay pin 85 and 86 polarity is swapped around?
That is - where I have a +ve feed, you've got a earth?
Hope that makes sense.
Cheers. |

Ordinarily the way that you wire pins 85 & 86 would make no difference to its operation (though 85 is commonly referenced as "coil ground"). However, the relay that you have chosen has an internal diode across pins 85 & 86, and therefore would have to be wired as per my diagram with 85 going to earth. Alternatively you could go for a relay without a diode: CBS part number 140201 and wire it as per your diagram.
All that you are doing with 85 & 86 is energising a coil, and it makes no difference which way the current flows with a non diode fitted unit.
Other items all look fine. |

Thanks Craig. I didn't realise I'd selected a relay with a diode - no need for that I think. So I'll look to keep it simple (of course) and get the bits ordered.
Cheers. |

Received through the post this week:
Relay & holder, plenty of black & red 17.5Amp cable (I did think about trying to match the MPi loom wire colours, but I'll be marking these cables up with a tag so this was an easier option), plenty of spare connectors.
I purchased the maxi fuse size inline fuse holder as it was only a few quid - I haven't as yet been able to locate a regular size blade fuse inline holder rated at 15A as yet, but will keep looking (until such time as I do the wiring) as it will be more convenient only carrying one size (not rating) of spare fuse.
I bought the switch from RS (along with some cable covering to try and make it look like a 'proper job')- I think it'll be okay (for IVA), the edge profile being similar to the other rectangular rocker switches, but I might hide it away under the dash for the test and mount it correctly on the dash afterwards.
Re-reading Mr Dickens book, he mentions he prefers not to wire the fan through the ignition (albeit he controls the fan with a temperature switch). I'm tempted - in the name of simplicity in my case, to revisit whether I wire the fan directly i.e. leave out the ignition switch.
Also received the mounting feet for the second fan, which I'd forgotten to order with the fan! |

Okay - so after a bit of reassurance here please.
This is a photo of my starter motor area, in particular the red +ve connection. (Not the clearest of photo's I'm afraid)
Am I correct in thinking it is from here that I take the power to connect to the Relay (connection '30')?
Thank you. |
