Radiator Fan

My 1992 firebird with the 3.1 has been getting up to about 230 recently in the hot weather and i realized that the fan isnt kicking on. Does anyone know where i can get an OEM fan for the car? I went to autzone and the fan they sell has a different connector. Wanted to see if i could get something with the same connector. Any help is great! Thanks!

Re: Radiator Fan

Are you sure it is the fan not the temp switch?

Re: Radiator Fan

Yeah, start by putting 12 volts to the fan and see if it works. Then work backwards and check the relay, etc. before assuming the motor is out

Re: Radiator Fan

I usually have luck finding replacement parts by just typing into Google something like "buy 1992 firebird fan"
