how to wire up a 12 volt/40 amp relay for eletric fans on a toggle switch?
Got a 5 connector hella relay (little black square style).
has numbers 87, 87a, 85, 86, 30. on it and I have no idea what they stand for as far as the hookup. Im trying to wire up a pair of 12 inch eletric fans and any help would be great.

i found a page that has a 5pin relay like yours.
it looks like the control circuit is run by using 85 & 86 the switched circuit is on 30 and 87/87A. (one in, two out) www.20v.org/relays.gif hope this link works. JB Last edited by johnnymopar; 09-08-2003 at 06:57 PM.

The #30 goes to Battery Positive, #85 goes to ground, #87 goes to the fan, #87a is empty in most cases, #86 goes to the toggle switch. I usually use a fusible link to the battery. In case there is a short it will burn before you fry your system. I just wired up a single pusher fan this weekend using this same set up. The fan works great, I'm still running hot but the fan works great.

be sure to switch the ground side with the switch.
