I'm not sure if there really is a problem with such a setup (unless you are forgetful, etc.) Every time I do get into the car I switch the fan on and go. I never had a problem in the past with forgetting this (had a switch put into my camaro a few years ago). This isn't, by any means a permanent solution, but for now it will get the job done.
The car is a '87 GTA, Carb'd 350. As far as I know the fans are the stock ones.
And again, thanks for your help so far!  |
I thought you wanted to do it right.
If you use no relay, the switch is part of the circuit and needs to handle the amperage-it is all part of the circuit. You'll need pretty big wire too (8g), to make up for the increased length and the associated volatage drop.
Why wouldn't you want to use a $5 relay? If you use one, you can run about 4' of heavy wire (10g or 12g), and run small wire to your switch.
