Missing Relay Plug

So the PO of this car sold me it with nothing connected.. in the love i fell for the beauty for the car i bought it and have been putting it back together since last year. Now the engine runs and i just need to finish a few things here and there, but when looking at alldata and these forums i had an issue when i tried to find a mising cable....


Well this cable conectes to a relay next to the fuel pump relay.. i know its not the fuel pump because it has 5 wires.... so it must be A/C or Fan... now the relay is there. but i cant seem to find the plug that connects to the relay!

ill post some pics in the morning


Also how do i test and see if my Fan is working?

Re: Missing Relay Plug

That is your fan relay. To test the fan just run a jumper wire from the battery+ to the orange(?) wire on the connector to the fan itself and ground the black wire. The fan should spin.

Re: Missing Relay Plug

The pi tail only has 2 cables... Black with red stripe and black... I see another connection there but i cant find a cable for it... Also i bought this fan from someone here that told me it would fit.. And it did.. I mean its like 4 inches a little bigger but it matches.. I think

Re: Missing Relay Plug

Ground the black and hook the black/red wire to battery +. This will tell you if the fan works. You can use the stock relay to power the fan if you can find the connector or you can buy/make a new harness and relay. Either way isn't difficult.
