Thanks Errol. Will that run when the car is off or is that a pointless idea?
Tonight I started pulling apart the loom I have. I have been unthreading it
bit by bit and placing tight zip ties around it so it keeps it's shape/form.
I intend to put this new wiring for thermo fan, high beams, O2 sensor and
anything else that is a good idea in neatly, then tape it all up again then
install! I might even put a little thermo fan on the back of my intercooler,
provided I can get the radiator in how I intend!
I like the idea of the more fuses. I am not intending to run mega stereo or
driving lights but I want this loom to work 100% reliably. If you can
recommend a way to wire up these more suggestions while the loom is apart
(ie use a bigger fuse box, etc) could you please tell me?
Zac
