Hi , I bought a pace intercooler with fan last year secong hand, but one of my many jobs is to wire it up, and i'm pretty unsure. There is a 2 leads that power the fan, +ve and -ve, and a thermostat with 2 connections. Anyone any ideas? Cheers, Allan

One lead from the stat to the +ve of the fan, the -ve of the fan to chassis, the other stat lead to a live,switched I would use.

THanks for your help steve, wasn't to sure but see how it works now, will away and find a switched feed, or if I get a constant one, that could mean the fan will run after switch off?

Do you think the fan will inhibit airflow that much adrian and i'd be better with it off?

CHeers, allan
