Fan relay wire
« on: April 30, 2008 - 08:01:17 PM »
Does anyone know or recommend what gauge wire would work best for the wire from the relay to the ignition switch.

Are you talking on the triggering/control (85 & 86) terminals or the output (87 & 30)?

Either way, for 85 & 86, so little current goes through there you hardly need much wire. 16/18 gauge with no issues.
Powering the fan, 30 & 87, fused 12 or 10 gauge wire. I run 10 gauge on my truck and cuda electric fan.

You can use small wire for that 16/18, i dont quite agree with 'small red wire' to the fan being small. I'd run 12/10gauge wire for that
