Ok nico so heres my question for why I keep blowing the AC fuse. I taped into the relay like the writeup on nicoclub says to do simply with an on/off switch (no thermostatic switch). The write up says tap into the orange wire with a blue stripe but on the bottom of the relay there are 2 Blue w/ orange stripe wires. One is a large one, the other a smaller gauge wire but the same color nonetheless. Image I tapped into the smaller one but i keep blowing fuses. Does anyone know whyyyy or which wire to use?

What year is your car? Those relays are different on zenki and chukis. I'll be at my garage today and see how I ran mine.

Ok so the small blue and orange wire is the direct 12v to energize the coil in the relay so i was just grounding it hence the blown fuses. I simply tapped into the batt cable, put a 20 amp fuse in between it and the switch and wired it directly so i now have a switch in the dash for my fan.
