3-Position Auto/Off/On Switch Wiring Schematic - Temp Sensor & Relay Ground

Simple switch schematic showing an Auto/Off/On selector with three terminals: ground from temp sensor, output to relay, and constant ground.

AI caption · Photo 22 of 50

This document is a simple hand-drawn style schematic of a three-position switch, likely intended for an electric cooling fan (or similar relay-controlled accessory) wiring setup. The switch has three selectable positions shown on the left: Auto, Off, and On, each indicated with dashed arrows pointing toward the switch body. On the right side, three terminals are labeled: the top terminal connects to "Ground From Temp Sensor," the middle terminal is "Out to Relay," and the bottom terminal is "Constant Ground." From this, a reader can learn how to wire a three-position toggle switch so that in the Auto position the relay is grounded through a temperature sensor (allowing automatic operation based on temperature), in the On position the relay output is tied to constant ground (forcing the relay/accessory on), and in the Off position no ground path is provided (accessory off). The document contains no vehicle-specific information, part numbers, wire colors, fuse ratings, or dates. It appears to be one page of a multi-page set uploaded to a 1987 Ford Bronco gallery, presumably documenting an aftermarket electric fan or relay control installation.

Frequently asked questions

What are the three positions on the switch in this schematic?
Auto, Off, and On.
What are the three terminal connections shown on the switch?
Ground From Temp Sensor (top), Out to Relay (middle), and Constant Ground (bottom).
Which terminal goes to the relay?
The middle terminal is labeled "Out to Relay."
How does the Auto position work according to the diagram?
In Auto, the switch connects the relay output terminal to the terminal labeled "Ground From Temp Sensor," so grounding is provided through the temperature sensor.
