Relay question

[Wrencheshurt 10+ year member]

morning gents, a buddy of mine just bought an electric fan kit for his twin turbo supra but the kit didn't come with the control unit for the fans, he has to pay 100 extra for it. Im pretty sure since all it needs is a 12v switched source couldn't we just wire it through a relay from his fuse box? the fans came with an inline 30 amp fuse so what fuse in the fusebox would i wire it to?, if i wire it to any of the other switched accesories wouldn't i overload that circuit and blow the fuse? thanks for the help

How big of fans are they?

or wire it off the ignition wire and use a switch (just don't forget to turn it off).

You could hook up a 12 volt relay to the remote out or whatever that is switched then hook up the fans directly to a solid power source.

yea not too sure on the size of the fans i know theyre made by flexlite or something like that, not too sure if he wants to run it to the actual ignition wire but ill check, seems like a 12 volt relay is pretty much the only option ?
