[QUOTE="danf, post: 19252, member: 2"] Who ever figured out the Geo Metro fan switch was really smart.. :hi: My hat's off to that guy.. or girl.. I didn't want a pig tail connection I wanted a direct plugin.. I have it on the bike right now and it has run perfectly now for two years, this is a easy mod. if you want a direct plug in, I got two male posts with the blue plastic casing, removed the plastic casing, I got a solid piece of copper wire to fit the crimp, crimp then solder, the wire is about 1" long, after you solder together, go to your vise and smash the copper wire flat with a hammer [or flaten it first] like pancake on your anvil :smilie_happy: then fit it, bend it do what you need to do to get the wire wedged in next to the plug connection if your smart take some measurements and make your bends first,be sure its tightly in the case, solder it... the posts should be 7/16" Well its between 1/2" and 7/16" to be exact, wide, center to center of post..and 9/16" from the bottom of case to tip of post..Once everything looks good fill it with jb weld.. It's none conductive and it's actually and insultator..Now you let that sucker dry a day..cut a 3/4" piece of pvc pipe to fit as a cover the depth of the rubber plug cover, I remember tapering the inside of the pipe with a round file to custom fit the plug case.. it protects the plug ... :grin: So now you have a direct plug and mine works perfectly..Joe I told you I had other tricks up my sleeve.. :smilie_happy: [/QUOTE]
