I did another thread and didn't really get help to a problem I have:
I asked for help concerning the GEN/alternator light coming on.
I narrowed the problem down to my electric fan I installed. I firstly had it running on a radiator fan switch but this was running way to long and could not find a temp range which suited the open/closed range of the OBD11. it kept on running the sysytem to cold. I then hooked the fan via a relay to the aux fan wiring. since i have done this the GEN light has been coming. I tested it today and found this to be the culprit.
I have heard that the main fan uses a negative to switch the fan on as it has a permanent positive. how would i run this via a relay. this way seems to work better as my xj seems to run a little warm here in South Africa where temps average 35-38 *C and the fan coming on for short periods seems to work better than it staying on for a long period where it cools the complete system down to almost cold.
Has somebody got a diagram that I may use:dunno::dunno:
