Exclamation e-fan help

ok, i just put in a 16" imperial electric fan, as suggested by rx7carl, so i was kinda wondering if you could help. I got the thing all mounted, but now i dont know how or where to wire it, and if i need a temperature switch. If i need a temperature switch, what kind is it, and where could i get one???

will you need a temp switch? Well, that depends on you and the car. You don't HAVE to have one, but it would be easier as far as you won't have to worry about it getting too hot without you noticing and realizing "oops, I forgot to turn the fan on"

As far as how to wire it, it depends on which way you go -- with a thermostat or just a switch. Either way, I'm curious to know myself 'cause I'm about to undertake that whole deal myself. <g> At least you have a little more information to go by though.

I used the black ties that came with the fan. Held up nicely so far.
