It is in the fuse box under the hood. I have a pic that JSmith sent me. I'll send it to you.

If this is for electric fans let me just say that I don't think you really even need to hook up the A/C relay. I've been running my Flexalite 282's without the A/C relay hooked up and the fans take care of things fine when the A/C is on. I've also read that the fans come on and off alot with the relay hooked up because of how the clutch engages/disengages.

I'll send that pic to your email in a little bit.

John is right. I disconnected my AC wire since it cycled on and off so much. Just dial the temp down a bit and they will take care of the AC no problem.

No crap, you don't need the fans on with the A/C?

No that's not what I meant.

The fans will still come on when the temperature rises to whatever the thermostatic relay is set to. The A/C relay is to keep a vehicle from overheating when the A/C comes on, with the 282's that not a problem. They work just like normal with or without the A/C on. It just doesn't phase them.

On my old 350 S-10 I HAD to keep the electric fans on when the A/C was on becuase it was almost too much for the cooling system and if they weren't the truck would overheat.

Maybe that explains it better.
