I got mine hooked up and took a ride. Unfortunately, the LED is always on
My theory is as follows:
My fan has two speeds: the fast is with "straight" +12V (or 13.8, or whatever) ie no resistors in the way, the slow is when there are resistors lowering the current. I believe that there is always 12V on the line when the engine is on, but resistors keep the current down low enough to keep the fan from starting when it's not needed. This current is enough to light the LED, though. Any ideas what can be done with that? Maybe more resistors in front of the LED? Just guessing.
