radiator fan relay location
Im installing a new radiator fan relay on my pops 91 Firebird 5.0 TBI. I know where its located but I cant figure out which one it is because there are two relay switches there. Is it the one on the left or the right, if so what is the other for?

Re: radiator fan relay location
One should have a thick red wire and thick black with red stripe wire, and one should have a thick orange wire with a thick black/white stripe wire. The one with the thick red wire and black/red stripe wire is your radiator fan relay (normally on the left, but can't promise anything after ~20 years). On my 88 TBI it was a 1" X 2" oval relay while the other one will be your fuel pump relay, and that one on mine is a 1" X 2" rectangle. Hope this helps.
Radiator fan relay :
Thick red wire
Thick Black/red stripe wire
Smaller tan/white stripe wire
Smaller green/white stripe wire
Fuel pump relay :
Thick orange wire
smaller red wire
Green/white stripe wire
Thick black/white stripe wire
thick tan/white stripe wire
That should clarify it for you. Any other questions feel free to ask!

Re: radiator fan relay location
THANKS again to TGO! I just fixed my coolant fan - again. Last time was about 16 years ago!
