Did some minor work today by installing the electric fan relay in a new location and rerouting the wires.



Finished installing the relay to this new location.


In case you were wondering what the electrical connection is that's to the left of the relay is for. It was a wiring kit for coolant temp sensor that I installed to automatically turn on/off the electric fan. I totally forgot that I bought and installed this kit.


Test fit the bottom half of the air box. This wire needs to be rerouted.


Finished getting the wires out of the way. I still need to figure out where to tuck this fuse holder out of the way.


It looks like I need drill a small hole to feed this wire (red arrow) through the side of the ECU box just like you see for the grey wire in front of the ECU box and seal the hole with waterproof silicone to keep water out.


I need to remove this connector to fix this properly.
