'89 "E" code car with a nightmare wiring issue. - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

The car over heats. The low beam lights are not working although the dimmer switch mechanically "clicks" over most of the time. the car misses and Idles high. The gauge cluster is unreliable in the sense that the gas gauge moves up and down, the temp gauge isn't working, and the RPMs read high, The starter doesn't always turn with the key, but most of the time it does. The electric fan isn't coming on. The defroster fan isn't working either. Is there a common issue with these 3rd gens that would cause this and is there a common denominator to the problems?

Anyone know where the radiator fan switch is. I looked all over the radiator and couldn't find it?

No commonality.

We’ll take these by priority.

When you say “electric fan” do you mean Cooling Fan?

If so that’s the most important device on your list.

Connect the fan directly to 12 volts.

If it does not come on replace it.

If it does come on with 12 volts direct you may report back.

Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!
