[DeTomaso] Radiator Fan Relays

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Bob,

On the diagram that I have in front of me there is a relay #10 called
General relay. The coil is powered by the ignition switch and the power is
taken from the ammeter and routed to a handful fuses, among them the one
feeding the radiator fans. I conclude that the radiator fans are not loading
the ignition switch. Other items fed by this relay are window motors, heater
fan and AC clutch and condenser fan.

Ken,
The radiator fan power through the original wiring goes through the ignition
switch. Thus if you have a high radiator fan load, you could melt the
ignition switch. The relay diverts radiator fan power so it comes directly
from the fuse box or where ever you have it hooked up to. The ignition
switich circuit is used to activate the relay coil. So I would recommend the
mod.
