    You can does this but it is not ideal. It can take too long to get to operating temp. Before I did this I would use a toggle switch to trigger your fan relay(you are using a relay right?)-Assuming that you have a working temp gauge.

    I went straight from the back of the fuse panel (an a leg that is switched with the key and supplyed with 12g wire) with 12g wire to the fans. 20 amp fuse. No relay. Why?

    Thanks for the help BTW. Jim
