    Bathroom Timer Fan Modification

    The fan casing has a slot for a cord. Looking inside of the casing it seems that the simplest solution is to use a SP sub-min pullcord switch in series with the fan motor itself. The plastic extrusion even appears to allow for a pull-cord switch (for their non-timer model). Although the...
