So i'd like to run a switch for my aux fan so I can turn it on when I want. I've read a number of tutorials and just want to make sure I understand it correctly.
I take the ground wire from the fan, splice into that with something like http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/BWD0/CT317.oap?ck=Search_splice_-1_2894&showStores=true#at
then I take the third part of the spliced end and run it to my switch. Also putting in a ground wire for the switch, grounding it to the body.
