mspnp2 fan control
Hello guys, trying to wire up my mspnp to control my fan based on coolant temp using the aled/wled outputs. i can get it to "trigger" just fine when the parameters hit, but voltage output drops from 12.7 volts to around 7 when active. This isnt enough to trip the relay and kick on the fan. Any ideas? To my understanding these are the outputs you should use, but i do still have a few spare outputs

I wired in a relay with no issues with my taurus fan. I am using the 5v trigger to signal relay. It sounds like the wiring is backwards cause the relay will not draw power like that. Sounds like the wiring is drawing power from the ecu power rather than battery. Please double check and do not run it if you see this drop. It will burn the board. I used the ALED port to trigger mine.

Re: mspnp2 fan control
well ive had my relay and fan setup for years. just wired to a switch, i cut that switch wire and ran it to the aled. its only an 18g wire so theres no way it would power the fans without melting down or blowing the 5 amp fuse lol. maybe the relay im using just is heavy duty and needs more amps to throw the power on

Can you check the resistance across the relay coil? Let me know what you find. It sounds like this relay needs a lot more current than a normal one.
