Dash Light for Aux Fan
Now that I've got my cooling system sorted and working properly, I'd like to have some kind of dash advisory light come on when my aux fan is running. I've read how another forum member ran wires and utilized the caravan light, but a) don't think my car has that light and b) I really don't want to pull the wheel arch and run additional wires between the engine bay and cabin.
So I thought this might work:
My car has no front fog lamps (FFL), but came wired for them like most (all?) '95s did. Got the wiring, fuse, relay, etc. but no switch. If I jump the relay (4th from front on the left underhood panel) the FFL dash light illuminates. Hmmm...
Would there be a safe way to activate the FFL relay when the aux fan relay activates? Wire them in parallel?
Appreciate any advice here, the car is running well and I don't want to burn anything up...

Great idea - I often try and hear if the fan is running. Especially when parking as I can not use the car alarm if it is because when the fan stops there is a voltage change and the alarm goes off.
Learnt that the hard embarrassing way.....
Sorry cant help though....

I think that all you need to do is connect to the aux fan power wire and run the wire to the fan light you want to install and connect the other side of the light to ground. Light will then come on when aux fan runs.
