wiring fans

[davejnz]

Dakar,I think you need to put it in lamens terms for Bobby,LOL.Did you combine each wire from the 2 fans together then atttach it to the converters wires?.Did you check the mA rating on your converter and see if its putting out enough juice for each fan?
Dont forget to double the mA rating for the fan since your installing 2.Your fans are probably around 150mA so get a 300mA converter @12vDC.
And lose the LED's on your fans,they are probably whats giving you trouble.

Perpetual 98 is correct some DC voltage fans will not run if wired incorrectly, but a 120 volt fan motor is almost impossible to mess up. I would assume Radio shack carries them for about 6-7 $

I use a RadioShack 120v fan in my sump. Works great! I got a cord at HomeDepot that just had the male end and 2 wires on the other end. Picked up a plastic junction box and cover and made the connection in there.Mounted the box with velcro on the outside back of my stand. Made a bracket and mounted the fan on an adjustable speaker bracket, the kind that can swivel in any direction.
