Hi guys I am going to be installing a set of top head cooling fans, where do you recommend getting the power from ?  On the car


Thanks

I connected our to the switch for main fan, but have a plug to disconnect them when I take the hood off.

Joe,

What relay are you using for your fans? Do you have a link to the relay?
I think the relay is the way to go. Just not sure what realy I need.

yes just like that one.. you will only use 4 of the pins... ground, battery power, switch power and output to fans. [ i hook in the two upper fans and the cooler fan].
