Easier How-To: Fan Switch Mod:
This is way easier than using the current fan switch mod displayed in the how-to section on SRTforums...me and a friend figured this out for my car, it works the same on all most other cars also.
Supplies needed:
1.) Wire strippers + crimpers
2.) Wire roll from local autoparts store (12ft roll, 14gauge)
3.) Connectors for the switch you are using (switches/connectors available at any local autoparts store)
4.) Wire loom & zipties and some heatshrink tubing if you feel the need to ziptie them up & protect them....I just did this modification last night and it was dark so kind of a rush job...I'll probably be adding some tubing to them & ziptie them up later....
1.) First locate the black box right next to your battery to the right side of it, and take the cover off of it:

2.) Next look at the 3 big relay's to your left if on the drivers side, the very bottom one is your source for your fan control (unplug it):

3.) Then you'll run your power wire from your positive side of the battery to your switch through the firewall or along side the drivers side door like I did.
4.) Then you'll run another power wire from the fan relay to your switch, and you will have total control over your fan, don't forget to ground out your switch if it has a ground on it.

Looks a lil ghetto, but I didn't mess with mounting it yet, I'll get around to that later.
Here is the switch wire's:

1.) White wire = Ground
2.) Left wire = to fan relay.
3.) Middle wire = to positive terminal on battery.
Could I get this added to the how-to section if no one else has posted this easier method, rather than splicing all sorts of wires, etc for a fan switch like the other one tells you how to do? Thanks!
