Lennox Member 2,586 Member For: 12y 6d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 01/11/15 03:40 AM Share Posted 01/11/15 03:40 AM Are the fans normally fused? Could see the motors drawing more as they get old and burning wire doing it that way... plus they wouldn't go on automatically anymore? Drag tune ftw.. my fans are always on now it's been tuned if I give it a flogging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a simple power and earth to the battery and chassis. They pull a ridiculous amount of current on start up and I was blowing 15amp fuses instantly. Wasn't game to go further as was only running 15amp wire. I would recommend a relay if your trying to run a switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
