That wire is only powered when the engine is running.<BR>&gt; I want to know if the brown wire (polarity not shown on my wiring<BR>&gt; diagram) is constant power, and what are the consequences of switching<BR>&gt; them so my new fridge fan runs without the engine running.<BR>&gt; Dave B.<BR></DIV></div>
