Controllers mounted to the top of the washer fluid reservoir. This is the recommended mount location by Troyer.

The switch relays are mounted under the inside of the fender well using one of those panel nuts (ya know, the one that slides over some sheet metal that you can put the screw through). I had an extra one laying around from something and thought this would be better than using a self-tapping screw.

The PCM plug up front is spliced to signal the E-Fan controllers. The Red/Yellow wire is accessory and the Grey/White wire is the A/C clutch.

This is where I grounded everything. It's a factory ground point on the side fender behind the battery.

Another picture of the electric fans installed on the radiator.

This is the PCM again, but here you can see the loom that runs along the top of the firewall that ends up in the cabin for the manual e-fan control switches.

Wiring diagram I made up to manually control the electric fans from the cabin. SW1 controls FAN1, SW2 controls FAN2 and SW3 is the manual override. In all cases, the switches contain LEDs that light up and because I wanted the LEDs to light up when the fans were being manually controlled, everything is wired in reverse (i.e. SW1 is in the OFF position when Relay1 is in the ON position and visa versa).

jrfonte came up with the original schematics for this, I just formalized it in a nice visio. In the original, 3 relays were needed, but since we found out the Troyer e-Fan kit uses ground switching, we can eliminate two of the relays as shown. This diagram shows the use of dimmable LEDs to monitor when the e-fans are on or off. When the head(or parking)lights are off, the LEDs get full power from accessory. When the head/parking lights are on, the LEDs get power from the instrument panel dimming lead located behind the headunit or from the light switch on the left side of the steering wheel. The ground of the LEDs essentially connect up to the ground switch of the thermistor which will complete the circuit for the LED, and it will turn on.
