any one else running the cs fan controller?
(on a stock sr except for oil catch tank, walbro, stock ecu, and a battery relocation kit, wiring specialties main and trans harness)

here is my issue, car runs fine at idle, until fans kick on, as soon as fans kick on, my charging system drops between 12-12.4 volts. when the fans are off, im running 13.8-14.

they are clearly drawing too much power, but i dont understand how, just want to see if any one else is having the issue, im running no stereo, only other pieces i have power wired to is my gauges
just wondering if i have something wired to the wrong spot, i figured if it was a ground issue, i wouldnt draw as much power (am i wrong? not being able to close the circuit as well with a crappy ground)

any input or ideas to help figure this our would be great.

What fans are you running? If you think its grounds add more...i usually ground the intake manifold an engine next to the alternator to the strut tower

2 15" fans, ill double check my my ground set up in the morning, see if it fixes anything. I didnt think it was a ground, since my engine dies when something turns on, i kind of figured it was a power issue.

It ended up being a battery ground

Agreed ^. I did a few times and they all checked out fine volts wise. I had a problem with it being intermittent though. So it would work fine, then nothing at all. Something would move, and everything would be like normal, chasing down the price that was moving is a pain in the a**. But I went through and re-did every ground and haven't had a problem since
