[DeTomaso] Radiator Fan Relays

[Bob Timma]

Mike,
The only spot I have ever seen the bank of relays is above the passangers feet or in that general area.

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.



Checking the various wiring diagrams, I only see that relay on the earliest one.  However, in eyeballing  actual cars, I can't remember ever seeing that relay?  Is it located somewhere other than the normal relay panel?  Or is my memory just addled because most of the cars I've seen are post-'71?
