Connecting the FAL 270

I am getting ready to install my FAL 270. I found a box in the engine compartment that has the connections that I think would work. The box in question is the Auxiliary Relay box found on page 199 of the 2004 owners guide. I am posting these pictures in hopes that someone who has an electrical manual or has used this method before will be able to verify that this would be a good place to tap into for the FAL electrical signals.

The red wire with the yellow stripe in the top left corner of the picture has power when ever the ignition is on.

The Grey and white (looks white) wire in the middle is on when ever the AC clutch is engaged.


Here is a picture of the box which has been removed from the drivers side fender well and has the bottom plastic cover removed.

Yes, that's the Flex-a-Lite fan for the F150 series of trucks. Sorry about the confusion, I should have been clearer. The Flex-a-Lite fans are the best kits I know of their only shortcoming is that the instructions for them are pre-2004. So anyone with a 3v has to figure it out on their own, the reason for such threads as this. I pretty much know how to install it, I am just trying to find the best or a proven method.
