    Need some help please. I dont want to fry anything.

    I purchased a Trailtech light with it's own headlight switch mounted directly to the battery. That free'd up the old lo/hi beam switch. So my idea is to wire a 08 TE450 radiator fan to the old lo/hi beam switch for manual fan on/off. The fan is mounted, I have the old headlight wires coming out of the rats nest. There are 5 wires:

    white, blue, black in one sheath

    yellow/red, blue in the other.

    Looking at the pdf shop manual wiring diagram, I cannot tell what to wire to the fan, and then I dont want it to be harmful as far as wattage goes.

    So, to simplify my questions,

    1. What 2 wires do I send to the fan to turn on the fan in the high beam position?

    2. Is this a safe idea?

    Wish I was smarter about this stuff. Thanks,

    ----John

    I put a volt meter on the wires and did not get anything more than 1.5v.

    I wonder if I need to have the circut closed on all 5 wires to get more volts.

    Anyway, here are some pics of the old headlight wires if anybody has any tips for wiring them to the fan, (black and red).

    The saga continues.

    I just fount the white and blue power the high beam. I wired them to the fan, and guess what, it dosent turn unless you give it some gas.

    So, I will see about running a new set of wires from the battery to the switch and then the fan.

    Done.

    In case anyone ever wants to do the same, I ran the hot wire from the trailtech headlight hot just past the fuse directly into the highbeam switch wire (white) then back to the fan with the (black/green). The ground goes directly from the fan to the battery. It came out very clean.

    It was easier than I tried making it at first.

    On my 07 TC with electric start, I plugged into a white connector that looked like a headlight switch and used that. Picked up a connector from the Husky dealer and plugged in. :applause:
