Where can I find a Keyed connector to hook up the thermostat controlled switch for the fan?  Is there one in the connector box next to the battery? Or do I have to go back to the fuse box under the dash?  Thanks for any info.

didn't understand the question OSO: do you have some pics of your thermostat or what are you trying to install (a link or product description)?

Hey sharpxmen,
I have one lead that goes to the the battery(+), I have another lead that needs to be hooked up to a "keyed" source, so the fan only works when the ignition is on.
Thanks

It depends on what you want to do.  I have my keyed source off the fuse box under the dash since I'm running a switch as well.  There is a keyed source in the power distribution box but you'll have to double check which spot it's in with a FSM.

oh, i see - somehow i didn't understand what you meant by keyed - i thought you want a "keyed" slot to put your relay - you obviously meant a 12v contact feed. check the FSM for a source for that (like Jeffy said) - from memory i can think of the asd command feed (solenoid side) that is powered when the contact is on (same for the fuel pump relay) - they are both fused so that's a good thing. if you don't have AC you might be able to use an existing relay slot as well, but i cannot remember if that's at the PDC by the battery or the inside fuse block. I believe that some models also had an ABS relay which can be used as well if you don't have ABS, although i am not sure if that is wired or not.

Thanks Guys for the input, it helped.

In a '94, both the AC and ABS are in the PDC...  Don't know which Jeep you have, though.
