wire splitter
 
Been looking at online to find a 3 way wire splitter . Where I can connect 2 wires on one side to 1 wire on the other, I want to splice into my wire from my cooling fan to my relay so I can add a second relay and a/c system upgrade. I am looking for some kind of wire connector/splitter that will let me add the wire and still be able to keep it looking factory. I would like a possible plug to be part of it in case I need to ever disconnect I can. All I seem to find is butt connecters and Y looking butt connectors that I don't want. I find pig tails but they do not come with the both plug sides. Anyone have a source for what I am looking for? Thanks

I just bought several different configurations of pigtails on Ebay, they have the Male and female plugs..
Not sure exactly what your looking for, but on my dual relay setup ,each relay has its own wiring, if your powering both relays from a single wire it may overload the wiring

What gauge wire are you wanting to splice together

They make non-insulated butt spices with different size openings on each end. With the correct size you can put one wire in one side and two wires in the other. That doesn’t help with the disconnecting part. You should be able to figure out a way to add in a connector before or after that butt splice. You need to apply heat shrink tubing to the outside of the non-insulated but splice.

going to use a separate relay for each fan. The wire size I will have to confirm but my memory is 10 gauge. It is a bigger wire then normal from want to remember.

Best bet trial and error.

First to figure out the terminal and size

Buy ebay hydraulic crimper

Try crimping 2 10ga wire together and pull test.... the trial and error part

If ok, final product i would peel a little more than the terminal length on the middle of the wire where the new wire branches off of, slide the splice connector on it, then insert the other wire and them crimp it. No need to have 3 wires to make it.

Heat shrink it with good adhesive lined heatshrink

2 10 ga might be like 8ga connector?? Parallel splice is what i use for my 3 relay fan setups for the fan wiring.

thinking of changing my process. Thinking of trying to connect all three wires with a junction stud. Install all three wires with eye connectors and bolt them on to a junction stud. I seem to find the single junction studs (which I would need 3 as I am needing 3 separate applications). But I would like a three separate in one piece with a cover. Any ideas where I can get one. Trying to keep it as plan looking as possible when you open the hood. Thanks

Update. I find a 2 terminal so called bus bar that looks like if I remove the metal bar that connects the two terminals, I get what I want at least 2 separate junction studs on one application. Any thoughts. I would then need one double for the 2 fans and 1 single for my dash power. still looking this with a cover.

How about this? If you have a local boneyard "You-Pull-It", look for a Volvo SUV (CX90?). In the rear, where the battery is located, you'll find a neat buss bar with cover.

I decided on JEGS double terminal. You can get them with a buse bar or without. Nice produce.
