    Question about $0D fan code

    I already have some high currnet 12 volt regular coil type auomotive relays. Can these be ran off of fan A output even though it is PWM? Should I set the cycle time to 0? Or should I just run my fans off of output B so that I can use a standard relay? Both fans come on at the same time right now through the thermostat switch that came with my fan kit. The switch has a goofy deal that sticks into the radiator, I want to do away it.

    if you're referring to the PWM fan code, you MUST use a solid state relay/FETs, a standard relay will go berzerk attempting to control fan speed via PWM. they don't like being opened and closed at a rate of 64 times a second.

    I realize that, I guess I will just use output B to control both fans. In order to keep from buying $40 solid state relays.
