What's the best solution for this?

It looks like rats have literally chewed the wires to my fan relay. There was a rat's net in front of the distributor when I got the car, so that's probably what it is. Do I need to splice every wire in the wiring harness, or is there a beter/easier way? On a side note, the ECM has been removed, but that shouldn't affect the operation of the electric fan, right?

Thanks for the help!

Re: What's the best solution for this?

I take it your car was converted from a TBI or TPI to a carb?
The easiest is going to be to splice them back together.

I know if you have dual fans, the secondary does come on with the ac, not sure if it's controled by the computer or not though.
I almost want to say it is.

Re: What's the best solution for this?

I guess I should have mentioned that I have an 86 LG4, which was a ccquadrajet converted to a non cc carb. (I only converted because all of the emissions/electronics were hacked up by the previous owner)

I have a single fan, and I'm just looking for the simplest solution to getting the fan functional. Thanks for your input!

Re: What's the best solution for this?

So if I splice all of these wires, the fan will theoretically work correctly? Is there any other switch, relay etc. that I should check?
