Spal fan install help
You have it wired wrong. Since you're using the SPAL interconnect, you need a second relay to switch in the ground for it to work.
85 on relay goes to Blue/Black
87 to chassis
86 to chassis
30 to gray wire
87a no connection

Take a look here for the complete wiring: https://webstore.spalusa.com/content...O-KIT_SPEC.pdf
Page 4 has the details for the 2nd relay.

Here's what I was thinking using the hardware you have now. In this configuration you don't need the 2nd relay. This setup will work given the relay coil does not have a diode across it. I emailed SPAL to confirm and will post here when I get a reply. You can try in advance if you wish:

The picture says to ground it .. Correct ?
Why does my chart say switched ignition ?
Correct, ground the orange. Using my method you won't need a 2nd relay.
The SPAL wiring has you connecting the Orange to +12V switched and the Gray wire to the second relay. The purpose of the 2nd relay is to apply GND to the Gray wire when the OEM Blue/Black wire gets +12V (i.e. when the fan is triggered to turn on).
Either method should work. Again, I just emailed SPAL to confirm my approach is OK - specifically that there is no diode across the relay.
Hope this makes sense.
