Re: fan issue on a 92 Camaro

There is a fuse in the fuse box for the fan relay coil supply, the motor supply is protected by a fusible link coming off the battery. Should be an orange wire with a red fusible link.

Re: I have an '89 chip in my '86 IROC. my cooling fan doesnt come on with my AC now.

The switch is normally open and closes (thus creating a path for ground in the circuit) when the A/C is pressurized. Perhaps you have an incorrect switch?

Re: Fuse blows everytime it's connected

A bad light should not cause a fuse to trip, you have a short in the supply to ground. Trace all of your wiring from the taillights to the fuse box and ensure there is no physical or heat damage.

Buy yourself a wiring diagram. Everything must be grounded. Electricity is nothing to play with unless you fully understand what you are doing or are being closely supervised... Just my opinion.
