You are making the cooling fan come on by grounding the relay, not by providing direct power to the fan. If you hook the switch up to the battery, you will fry the relay! Is this what you did?

For your stereo you have a constant (battery) and ign (key on) wire. I hooked it up to the ign wire so the switch will only work when the car is on. _________________ Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely and in a well preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, and shouting...

I just have to disconnect the hot wire going to the switch.... Thanks for teaching me to read brad. So why would it cause the battery to go dead even with the switch off and the key off??? With the key off it should get any juice at alll _________________ Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely and in a well preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, and shouting...
