Fried a fan controller now abs light on and ac won't work?
 
OK, so here is the full story.
I bought a set of Hayden electric fans and the relay controller


The relay has the following wires coming out:
Large red = +
Thin black = -
Thick orange = Fan 1
Thick blue = Fan 2
Thin green = AC
Thin yellow = Ign
Rad Probe

I followed the relay controller directions to hook up the relay which went like this:

Large red direct to battery
Small black to ground (frame)
Thick orange to fan 1 +
Thick blue to fan 2 +
Thin green said to hook to the ac clutch energizer wire so I hooked it to the output side of the small ac diode located under the small drivers side under hood fuse box.
Thin yellow wire went to a "live when ignition switch is on" wire
Rad Probe was inserted in rad fins.
grounded the fans main negs to frame.

So I soldered and heat shrunk all, put split loom over is all, zip ties and made a real pro job.

I located the relay in front of the battery over the windshield fluid reservoir. So all was working GREAT, fans were coming on temp was great (85 degree weather here in Vegas) Then I went through an automatic car wash, half way through the car wash, smelled smoke oh oh!! Then smoke was in the passenger compartment, after a few tense moments, got out after the carwash and discovered the Hayden relay assembly had fried, melted a hole in my reservoir. Now the Brake and Abs lights are on, and my ac does not work, when I push the ac button the dash light comes on, but the clutch for the ac never clicks on and starts the compressor. ???

Just closing my own thread if anyone happens to come across it. If your brake and abs light are one, your ac doesn't work AND your reverse lights don't work, it is fuse number 14!! Can't believe I missed it first time around! FUSE 14 - 10 AMP
