Default Manual Fan Switch

Has anyone installed a manual cooling fan switch that will override the PCM? I'm going to install a switch to be used when racing.

I would like to know the wire gage and how you tied into the relays.

Thanks,

Bob

I have done it before on the Vette. I believe the Camaros are different. PM me your email and I can send you a wiring diagram.

If you dont want to tune your PCM, I have a Hayden Adjustable fan controller that I purchased and didnt use. I will sell it VERY reasionable!

If your going to install a switch, just install this at the same time and you can change your coolant fan on and off settings
