Scions,
When I wired up my OD and electric radiator fan circuits I pulled the power
directly off the fuze box (power circuits from the unswitched side, control
circuits from the switched side.) When I am idling with the electric fan
running and the head lights on, I get a slight discharge showing on the
ammeter, which I expected, but no glow from the red Warning Lamp, which
surprises me. (Yes, the warning lamp bulb is OK)
Did I wire this stuff up off the wrong circuits to keep the ammeter and
warning light working correctly?
Should I have pulled the power from somewhere else to make sure my ammeter
and Warning light remain fully functional? It would be pretty easy to move
the power circuits to another location if needed to keep my gages and
warning lights working right.
BTW - the fan draws 7 amps when running.
Thanks in advance.
