Use the high-speed position on the switch to drive the 86 terminal on a 20-amp relay; ground the 85 terminal. Use the 87 terminal to drive the high-speed wire to the fan. On a 2.1l feed the 30 terminal from the switch feed wire, but on a 1.9l run a separate fused circuit to feed the 30 terminal. The two lower-speed positions aren't overloaded so they don't need any help. Yours, D |
