Okay, here's an official first dumb question post, woooo! do I get a cookie or something

I put in a second heater blower motor, and have everything hooked up and ready to roll out the 'heatwave', but need to know about the wiring - I know you can't just splice into the existing harness. Is there a safe way of rigging into the existing system to have it come on when the lever is engaged?

stomping my feet, shouting :
I swear I'm gonna get a few more miles of driving in dammit! I don't care if it's too cold out I'm not putting my car away yet I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care

Jumper on the circuit board....

The two wires that power the fan should handle a second fan just fine. They go through a relay so they can take the load. I know, I have done it on a few 914-6 conversions including my current one. One heater fan for each side. WOOOOSH! You can feel the warm wind!

I am in Chicago and heat works fine. Not sure why you need 2nd motor.

Did you go through the system? Are all the control cables there? No missing hoses or rusted valves?

I ran a second fan for years. Works great and it makes for a tidier engine compartment than that stupid hose running all the way across. I never had a load problem with the fan circuit. Though I will admit it didn't seem to make a huge difference.

Thanks for all the replies so far doodz
I tried splicing it into the existing plug on the stock assembly, but the fuse on the relay board keeps popping, so I figgered this was a no-no. What gauge wires should I be using, maybe that's why?
All the cables are good, and the system is in great working order - the drivers' side gets good heat, but I'd like a little extra oomph from the passenger side system. I've heard pros and cons about it, but wanna see for myself (I'm stubborn) how it works.
Plus I can say to my girlfriend "Look sweetypants, now you can stay nice and toasty when we go for a drive.."
It's not a huge deal, I'll be taking it off the road REAL soon anyway - we're supposed to have sleet and snow this weekend

Check the clamp on the motor it may be to tight.

why not getting a bus-blower with 2 outlets? that way you only need one blower.
plenty of warm air (for me at least) ...
