Possible by using two steering diodes. I believe 1N4001 diodes will support 1 amp. Should be more than enough for a small indicator lamp.
Jim, one power from relay ( black/yellow), other from fan. Tom Attached thumbnail(s)

I am attempting to use some of the CAT wiring to turn on the CAT light ( it's a 75 ) when the oil cooler fan comes on.
CAT light always comes on at start up, then goes out when engine is started. The CAT sensor is not Kinstalled. My thought is to use the wiring that goes from the rear trunk to the dash to indicate the fan is on. Here's a wiring diagram of the harness in the rear trunk. There is a relay involved. I'm also thinking it will be easier to run a wire from the fan through the tunnel and jump into the CAT light connector too. ** I previously referred to this as the EGR circuit, but was mistaken. This is the circuit found in the rear trunk with a pair of wires going to the sensor Attached thumbnail(s)
