I have the Flex-a-lite temp controller but I rather have a manual controller with a toggle switch.
Does anyone have a similar setup?
I’m a noob when it comes with wiring.
Thanks!

ground to ground

defiantly not, you will need to wire up a relay.

you can wire a relay but if hes not too good with wiring then he can do it the easier way

the easier way? lol you mean the electrical fire way
at startup, a taurus fan draws nearly 50 amps you clown
that will melt most toggle switches in a matter of minutes
samson use a relay… learn how to do it (its really not that hard) or pay/convince someone to do it for you
or, depending on which FAL controller you have, you can add a manual override to it
ideally you should use a controller… its always the best way
all it takes is one time where you forget to turn the fan on in traffic

ACTUALLY… the flex-a-lite has a function built in for a switched overide… its already built in and relayed. 🙂
Just look at the manual for the controler it will tell you which two spots to connect your switch to.
PS if your car is setup properly a fan overide switch is very pointless.

I just went to the junkyard today, saw some altima dual fans, they look like they’d fit almost perfectly in the S13, maybe a little would need to be trimmed on the upper edges.
What is the most common thing done, do people use a toggle switch, or a thermostat equipped fan controller? (Sorry for the threadjack, I still think this is relevant to the discussion…)

Buy what the OP has!
Or you can use a relay and a switch for the $5 solution.
But only the weak minded run switches only…
