500W Fan override

[WidowmakerS2]

Hey guys!
I've installed the 500W Rs2 fan in my 3b coupe. Or, it's in there, but not working.
I've got an appointment for wheel alignment tomm, and I need to somehow make the fan work for the short drive over there.

When connected to the original connectors, it (not surprisingly) pops the 30amp fuse.
Can i give it 12v from the battery without damaging anything?

Hmmm...you need an resistor pack for that..but..
you can install battery + wire via an switch...and look at the temp gauge.
Make sure you have an thick wire for the job...as the 500watt fan uses a 70 or 80 amps fuse.
Hope this helps!

You can straight wire it, but you need to fuse it using at least a 70A fuse. Audi used an ATC style "maxi fuse" for this.
