Is the "temp probe" in your cooler some kind of thermal switch, maybe like the one that might come with an aftermarket rad fan? If so these are rarely able to handle the current required to run a fan, but instead designed to trip a relay. Or is it just a sender for a gauge? Please describe any markings on the probe and any instructions that came with the cooler.
Or did you use only use the term "probe" to get Ron excited?

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

I see no problem in using the blue OEM Pump wire to supply ignition to the fan relay; saves having to run another wire all the way to the front of the car.

Please note- From February 23-27 the spencerforhire tech line will only be available from the hours of 7:30 am to 8:00 am AST - I'm at the cottage for some R&R and only have dial-up internet.

With that style(2-pole) of switch you'll have to run the larger 10g alternator wire to the back of the car. When I get home I'll find the part # for the inexpensive 4-wire ones I have; pretty sure they're from Taylor.

If you're having a hard time finding space to run cables, I believe it is acceptable to have them inside the car instead of underneath. Fuel and trans fluid not so much :wink:
