Default HI speed Fan override light

IN the Cluster....you got it, justlike the factory would have done it.....I fugured that there was no need just to have a Random LED, like alot have installed in there cars who have done the override.....why not have a FAN symbol in the cluster to alert you????

so i figured that i would do it

here are the results

I remember...it was from a Grand Am, but any Pontiac with manual fan controls will do nicely.

This may be a dumb question but here it goes. If the input to the switch is the ground, where does the power for the light come from? Do you wire the light in series (12v to the one terminal of the light) and then splice a ground to the light from the switch?

---------------Ground from HSF relay----------------> to switch----> to ground

then

---------------12V to light and spliced ground from switch


Pardon my drawing if it looks howkie.

The reason I ask is that I've done this to my car and thought it would be nice to have a light indicator.
