DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT run fans off your remote cable!

This is not intended to run proper amperage! Most head untis have remote turn on systems rated at 0.3amps, which is enough to send a signal, but nowhere near enough to actually power something up! Granted it will work, but for how long im not sure. The head unit will blow up prematurely.

Run them off the ignition live wire, which is the red one behind your head unit.

This will enable the fans to turn on and off with the ignition. You could also put a switch in the live cable so you can turn them off when you want.

But dont power the fans off the remote!
