>Pardon my ignorance, again, please.  I am trying to install an electric
fan
and I want to wire it up with a relay.  I got one from Pep Boys (I found it
on the shelf for about $5.00 after buying a VW relay from NAPA for $15.  I
think I'll return that today).  They both have 3 terminals and neither has
a
wiring diagram.  I am guessing that it goes like this:

Relay:
B- goes to a 12 volt source (In-line fuse goes on this wire)
L- goes to the fan
S- goes to the switch (I'm going to use a manual switch for now)

Switch:
t1 - goes to relay terminal S
t2 - goes to ground

Fan:
l1 - goes to relay terminal L
l2 - goes to ground (or the other way around to get the fan to push in the
right direction)

Do I have this right?

I think this was addressed, but I must have filed it along with those
memory
cells that knew where.

Sounds right.  If you have a volt meter you should be able to read about 50
ohms between terminals B and S.
