The whole point of a relay as I'm sure you're aware is to switch a large current with a small current, so he's defeating the whole purpose by running that large current on pin 87 through a switch in the cab. I don't know why.

If you wanted to force the fan off, you could put a switch inline with 85 or 86. Open the switch, fan stops.

If you want to force it on, put a switch from 86 of K109 to ground.

If you want to be able to do either, cut the wire from Z118 to pin 86 of K109. Buy an on/off/on non-momentary SPDT switch. COM pin goes to pin 86, one side pin goes to the wire from Z118, the other side pin goes to ground. Switch centered will force the fan off, switch to one side will give factory behavior, switch to the other side will force it on.

A switch with an LED in it for this task is going to be interesting to wire. Assuming the LED draws less than the pull-in current of the relay coil, you could set it up so that it lights up when the fan is OFF easily enough, but you'd have to get a switch with the LED pins both separate from the switch wiring to make it come on when the switch+fan are on.

yea, i dont want to load these two fans through just a 30A switch. they probably pull at least that much load when they turn on.

i just want to force it on... my coolant temp sensor is frozen in the thermostat housing and is bad. i also want the fans to automatically turn on with the AC. so am i breaking the connection? or can i throw a scotchlock on the 86 wire and just switch it to ground? really dont care about the LED, i'll know when the fans are on.

You want to ground it with your switch.

Scotchlocks are evil, unless you enjoy intentionally adding ****yous to your future self. Use a heatshrink butt splice and a good crimper.

Who cares.

This weekend, I get to go to a wedding in Glastonbury, CT tonight for one of my girlfriend's college friends, reception in Old Saybrook, CT, then hitting the road to Keuka Lake, NY early tomorrow to go to one of my college friend's bachelor parties. Lotsa driving.
