Temprature Switch Wire Help

Hello all, i've had some cooling fan issues recently. I've replaced the fan relay, fan motor, and had to do some wiring work and I still can't get the fan to kick on when it's supposed to. I did have a toggle switch set up but i'd like to convert it back to the factory specs. I didn't realize that the Temprature Switch had anything to do with the Fan and when I found it, I realized that there was nothing hooked up to it.

While looking on Autozone.com I found two types of Temprature Switches, for all I know I have the wrong one on the car. So which one do I need?

I really appreciate the help, hopefully I can get this issue fixed and then tear into the other electrical issues that the car is having.

the first sensor shown is for the temp. gauge . between #1 & #3 plugs on drivers side . the second one is the one for the fan between #6 & #8 plugs . lots of luck . temp. issues with our cars have always been a problem .

Do a search under "cooling" and look for "Willie`s Total Fan Control". There is a great deal of info about cooling on 3rd gens. in addition to Willie.
