i recently installed a sve aluminum radiator and a proform fan with a built in adjustable fan controller on a foxbody.

1.i have the ground installed to the negative battery cable.

2.i have the high current 12 volt connected to the battery

i need to also find a 12 volt low current, i believe it needs to be something that only supplys power when the ignition key is in the on position.
this wire will connect to the built in fan controller which will supply current once it reachs the fan controllers temp setting (180-250 degrees)
the a/c or radio will do.

the problem/ my question
car has no a/c i cant find the wire/connection. where does that wire end up, i dont see it by my intake manifold.

id rather hook it up to something under the hood to avoid wires everywhere and a cleaner look if possible.

"i read online ppl connect it to the radio low current power source and it works fine, but doesnt sound right to me as i dont like doing things mickey mouse."

I ran mine directly to my fuse box to an "ignition on" fuse. Under the hood, I used wire loom over the wire so it looks like it belongs.

Yes, I think so. One of the 15a or 20a. Can remember which one. I have my aftermarket gauges hooked up to one as well.
