Hey Guys,
I have been having issues wiring this thermo fan up.
The LED light on the Fuse is always on when the ignition is off.
The LED light goes off when the car is turned on.
The LED comes on when the thermo switch hits its open ground (90degrees)
The fan does not run...the light just turns on....my radiator is being cooled down by running the heater on full lol, i need help please.
This is a diagram ive made.....this is how im running it at the moment.

Where is the LED connected?   According to your diagram, the fan should be running anytime the ignition switch is off.  And any time the temp is below 90 degrees.  If your fan is not coming on with the ignition off, you have a bad connection somewhere or a faulty fan, relay or fuse.

the LED is connect to the inline Fuse...its ment to come on when the Fuse is blown....but its not blown.
How should I wire this up so the fan comes on at 90degrees and only turns on when the ignition is on?....I dont want the fan to run while the car is off as the battery will drain.
And also which wire should I tap into if I want to run a manual switch inside the car so I can run it all the time at the racetrack.
Thanks heaps.

If it is an AGU type fuse, replace it.   The switch states normally closed, does it open somewhere between 85 and 90C?

Yeah its normally close ground.
The switch opens at 90degrees and the switch closes at 85degrees
I will double check the fuse isn't blown...was hard to tell...very dark at night when i checked.
My diagram should work!

A large cooling fan requires a lot of current to start up. Yeah check my diagram out and let me know if it works.
