LED to indicated fan ON/OFF

[CDeeZ]

Hey everybody,

So I was killing time in radioshack the other day and I was browsing the LEDs and I got an idea...... I'd like to put an LED in my dash that lights up when my Efan is commanded on by the PCM...

I guess an LED really isn't that complicated, but I was reading up on it on the internet and it is definitely not as simple as a conventional incandescent bulb!

My question is this: how do I know if the LED i selected will work properly in my Efan circuit?? I could just wire it up and be ready with the fire extinguisher LOL.

Specs: Forward Voltage: 12.0 TYP, 16.0 MAX

Forward Current: 15mA TYP, 25mA MAX

The LED also has a built in 680 ohmm resistor........

Will this LED work okay in my Efan circuit?????? I've been playing around with it on a spare 12v battery in my garage and it seems good to go that way.....

Thoughts?
