Hello, Im wireing up my fans with this fan controller and I want to ask people that know what they are doing instead of guessing.

Looking at this Diagram dose the Black wire from the relays go to the Red wires to the fans? Then Ground the black wire from the fan to the body.

It showes Fan PWR +12V Green wire, dose that go to my orange wire 12 V coming from the fuse box? It states to connect to fused 12v Battery CIRCUIT that can run cooling fans. I have no idea what that means and Im Guessing it s the orange wire from the fuse box to power the fans.

and lastly it said to connecct the red wire to a fused 12v battery, can I just use a slot on the fues box marked B for this?

The fans should have power connected to their red wire, but I would hook it up on the bench first just to make sure that it blows the correct direction.

If the orange wire from your fuse box is controller by your ACC circuit, then i would attach it to the red wire on the relays. Then attach the green wire to a breaker and then directly to the battery. On my car, I put the breaker between the relay and the fans so I could have a separate breaker for each fan (in case 1 fan failed and blew the breaker).

Of course there are a number of ways to do this...but I prefer to run my higher current loads as direct to the battery as possible. Hope this helps....Eric
