02 f4i trying to wire my electric fan to stay on at all times when the bike is on but having trouble... I thought I just put a wire between the two wires that go to the clip... Im confused... help please! thanks

 

You have to use a switch or else it will run as long as the battery is hooked up to the terminals

 

i was just gonna run a male and female connector instead of a switch... but im just not sure which two wires i need to tap into and connect

 

i know you have to connect the fan motor switch to something but not sure what?

 

The fan always has 12v running to it

The fan is not grounded until it hits 230f, then the temp sensor sends ground..


Use a multimeter to check which wire going to the fan is ground and which is hot, then splice into the ground wire, and run a switch between a ground on the frame and the fan, then you can kick it on whenever.


No need to fuse, no need to run more then about a foot of wire.

 

awesome... thanks... cause I know which is the switch for the fan and theres a ground wire close by... lemme go try this thing out... I already popped a fuse earlier by hooking two wrong wires up lol...hopefully didnt f*ck my fan up hah...

 

you'll be fine

ONLY touch the wires that go directly into the fan.. If you hook them up wrong all you'll do is pop fuses

Also make sure to keep the stock temp sensor hooked up! Because you will one day forget to turn the fan on!

 

successful! yey! lol... I tapped into the ground and the fan switch wires with individual wires one male and one female so I can leave them connected and fan will run all the time or disconnect and itll be like stock again... well thats the idea hah... also ghetto rigged my high beam back on with a male and female connector too...hah... i dont have the stock handlebar switch assembly on anymore...

 

cut 3 inches back from the plug, put switch in took me 4 mins

 

lol nice...i cant do anything in 4 min...not even beat off...lol well thats a lie... hah
