Powermaster One wire question
About a month ago I installed a Powermaster one wire alternator. After some help here I got it all wired up and working fine...so I thought. What I knew before I started was that the blower resistor was shot and only worked in high. no big deal. well I finally got around to replacing that, and now its on all the time, the fan speed selections all work, but the blower works with the key on or off. I hooked the large orange wire in the engine compartment to the hot side of the starter relay. I know now that this is wrong and it leaves it hot all the time. My question is were to run this orange wire (10-12 gauge) so it can be activated when the key is on only.Any suggestions? I don't think it would be wise to splice it in to something else as its a large wire and im sure it draws decent power....help please?!!!
thanks guys!

After researching further, I believe I do have the fat orange wire hooked up properly to the positive side of the starter relay, so with that, what would I look at next to find out why the blower motor isn't turning off, key on or not...bad ground? and if so were?...help please!..thank you!

That orange wire is supposed to plug into a female bullet plug which leads back to the fuse box and a high amp fuse. The bullet connector should be dangling above the motor on that harness running along the top of the firewall.
Have you even looked at a wiring diagram?

I hooked the orange wire back to the starter relay...pulled the blower relay (not the resistor) which is directly under the glove box, and smoothed out the ground area, and reinstalled. presto, works like it should...so one of two things...the ground was bad....or by messing with it, I dislodged a stuck relay. Thanks for the responses!!!
