Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Therefore, run a wire from that pin(socket) to one side of your switch and then a wire from the other side of the switch to ground and, you're set.

Which lugs do you use for on/off, gound, background/interior light and finally the light that will show the fan is on?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am trying to do the mod to add dash switches for the radiator fans and engine compartment fan. Two questions: 1. I purchased the footwell tip switches to use (part #996.613.980.00) to use for the fans. Each switch has 5 lugs. I need a simple on/off and to light the switches. Which lugs do you use for on/off, gound, background/interior light and finally the light that will show the fan is on? 2. The main relay carrier is located in the footwell by the driver's feet . There is a second relay carrier located somewhere. The DYI says behind the passenger seat. But in my 00 Cab it is not under the seat or under the carpet or jump seat. My shop manuals don't show where it is. I know there is a relay carrier in the well under the top compartment as I saw it when installing a SmartTop. Is this the second carrier which has the engine compartment fan? If not where is it?

POST 2Original post

Grounding pin #85 will activate the related fan. Therefore, run a wire from that pin(socket) to one side of your switch and then a wire from the other side of the switch to ground and, you're set.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know to use pin #85 on the relay. My question is how to wire the lugs on the switch. i.e. the wire from pin #85 to which lug on the tip switch, and the wire to ground to which lug on the switch? Then I need to do the backlighting on the switch, and power the light to show the fan is on.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
