Ok, so I'm getting the wiring finished up on the buggy (finally).
I've got a DCControl's fan controller for my Taurus fan.
As it's described:
Now...what I'm planning:
I could just hook it right up (i.e. high speed wire to fan controller output) as some do (how installation instructions go).
I however, would like to be able to turn the fan off, or bypass the controller as safeguards.
I've got two rocker switches (Contura V's) that I'm planning on using.
One would be on full time, and just let the fan controller do it's thing. It I flipped it to off, there would be nothing going to the fan and thus off.
I would have another switch, for full on. When this switch is hit, it would be a straight from power pull, 100% on fan.
In order to do this, I would need to feed both power source wires into the one feed wire for the fan...(2 into 1).
What I'm worried about, is any back feed towards the controller if I put the fan on 100%. I know the flow of electricity will always want to take the path easiest traveled, but I want to make sure I wouldn't harm my nice expensive controller :laugh:
So, thoughts, experience...?

As it's described:
Our constant temperature, full variable speed controllers have long been considered the best on the market. They can be utilized with virtually any cooling fan and employ pulse width modulation in order to set the fan to any speed in order to attain a constant temperature without cycling, regardless of driving conditions.
