K, i have a question.

The two small terminals on a first gen s10 fuse panel marked IGN (ignition) are those hot in run terminals? Can they sustain a load of 20 Amps?

Basically what im trying to do is wire up my electric fan to come on with the ignition and stay on and turn off when i turn the key off.. the module i have it hooked up to is no longer working, and i figured better to be safe than sorry

They are hot with the ignition on. However I'm not sure they'll sustain a 20 amp load. So half the question is answered anyway.

I'll make sure DJ sees this, he's got the factor manuals.

Yes they are hot in run and ign on. They have a fusible link as protection but you MUST inline fuse whatever wire you connect to it. You should NOT run your e-fan directly to it. But you can wire that to your e-fan relay.

Sums it up pretty well.

When I did my e-fan I tapped into the coil to get my ignition on/off. I don't like running in and out of the cab if I don't have to.
