fan controller/relay set-ups

I haven't converted my malibu yet but when I did it on my wife's Explorer. I used this.http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/we...-control-imperial_3670006-p?searchTerm=226204

They also have some others out there. But this had a lead the tied into the a/c compressor so it would run when called upon and also allowed for 2 fans instead of one. If I remember they had a single unit one with no a/c for less money.

It isn't exactly pretty and haven't figured out how I'm covering it yet. It's functional though. I control both the radiator fan and the trans cooler fan through relays. One relay for the trans "lock up" and the other two for the headlights.

I bought a mini block by Bussman from Waytek wire....it has space for 5 mini relays and 10 fuses. I'm running a relay for fuel pump, hi-beams, lo-beams, and one for each fan....with a fuse for each and 5 extra fuse slots for future use. I'm just using a GM fan switch for a '92 Camaro in the Dr head to turn the fans on and off for now (I have a Holly commander 950 in a box that has a fan controller built in.... that will get installed someday)

Wayyy nicer looking than mine Rat. Wheather tight also. You must have bought all the seals n connectors? How about the crimping tool or will a regular crimp pliars work?

I already had the old style weather-pac crimp tool that worked for the seals (used to work at a GM dealer) I bought the crimp tool for the new style connectors and the seals and connectors from way-tek also....kinda sucked because they were in a bulk pack....so I've get a few extra lol...the fuse block was only around $25...I think everything else was $50-60 (not counting crimp tool)

I see they now have a bussman block that has 10 relay and 40 fuse slots.....almost makes me want to rewire the car....almost lol
