Is there a 12volt switched lead near the Leading coil?
I want an ignition turn on lead near the leading coil for an e-fan. So the fan will only come on when the car is on.
I know about the electric thermo switches. I had one. It stopped. This is to get me by until my new one gets here.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
By the leading coil on any 2gen is a green gang plug, 6 terminal. The center wire, (if I recall correctly) nearest the clip on top, is a switched positive output. You do NOT want to pull any amperage through this, but it makes an excellent trigger. Be sure to use a relay to pull amperage from the battery, and use this as your trigger. I use it on all my e-fans.
BTW, e-thermostats suck, in my exprience. I always wire the fan straight to the ignition through a relay, using the fan's lowest speed (I use a multi-speed fan). This almost eliminates the chance for failure while keeping everything clean and simple, and it stil doesnt draw a lot of power on a healthy charging system. Every fan is different, however, and this is not suitable for some fans that only run on high speed.

All FC's were equipped with the wiring to make AAS all the easier to Install. Obviously, not every FC got AAS.
You'll see, at both Shock Towers, a 6 pin White Harness Plug. Use, from either side, the center pin, closest to the push tab, for your 12v Ign Source.
I use both of them. One for efan and the other for RPM Switch to activate my Auxilliary Ports...

thanks guys. I have been crawling under my hood to jab the relay lead into the positive terminal on the battery.
I have thought about just making it work this way anyway, but I don't want the drain on the charging system when I don't need it. I think I may wire a switch mounted in the cockpit so I can turn it off at will.
Or I may go back to the thermo switch
thanks guys
