Purpose:
To be able to manually turn on and off the fans.
This is so that while in the staging lanes or in heavy traffic,
I can manually override the system's ability to turn on the
fans and cool the engine better.
Note: Credit for this mod must go to
Rodney Chalker.
How its done:
Step
1: Go to Radio Shack,
get a switch part #2750653, and a pack of diodes part #2761114.
You will also have to get some 16-18 gage wire.
Step
2: Get the switch ready.
You must solder a jumper wire and one diode on the terminals
of the switch. Make sure the diode is as in the
picture below. Number 2
pin has to be grounded to the car.

Step
3: Open the fuse box under the
hood. You must now run two wires from the relays to the switch
under the dash. (There is a rubber plug in the fire wall in
front of the brake pedal.) Strip wires 1/2 inch and connect
numbers 1
and 3
pins to the 1
and 3
marked in the fuse box in the pictures below. After placing
the wires in the fuse box, reinstall the relays. It would
be much easier for you to use different colored wires for
this. If you choose to use the same color wire as I did, just
connect the wires to 1
and 3.
You have a 50/50 chance on getting it right. If you connect
the wires correctly, both fan-1 and fan-2 should be either
on high, or on low. If not, change wires 1
and 3
in fuse box around. If that doesn't work, there is a different
problem and you should go over your work.

Step
4: The lid for the fuse box
now needs a notch just big enough to run the wires out of
it at the top where it seals together.
I mounted My switch here (the BLUE one)
This is the housing that also holds the switch for the seat
heater.
