#9484 RE: Bruce A Thompson #9480

Glad to hear that, Bruce.

Have a small question for you. I bought a fan controller with 6 hookups. Two are on toggles and connect to raw wires, so I didn't use those. 4 are on 3-pin connectors. A molle goes directly into the controller. When I connected the fans, two I connected through the mobo and the LED lights on the switches light up. Two I connected directly to the fans, and on those two, the fans and their LEDs light up, but the LEDs on the switches do not.

My question is, the two that light up are getting power from the mobo, the other two are getting power only from the controller itself. I'm wondering if the two fans I connected only to the controller also need to be connected to a power source (other than through the controller panel) in order for the switch LED lights to light up. Could not find anything in the instructions or on the mfgr's website that addresses this question. What do you think? I'm afraid to just plug these two into a power source and into the controller because I don't want to burn out the controller switches if that is not correct. Help!
