No ground for cooling fan
No ground for cooling fan
Hello, All!
1987 IrocZ with 5.7 TPI. I have tested entire cooling system, and am down to what actually controls the grounding for fan solenoid... When I jump A & B in ALDL the fan will turn. When up to temp, no ground to fan solenoid. I have swapped computer, but not the prom or "chip". Could it be that? Getting a little frustrated, and could use your experience and help! Thanks for responding!

Fan solenoid do you mean the fan relay ?
Re: No ground for cooling fan
Fan turn on temp is 16 billion degrees Fahrenheit, are you letting it get hot enough for the fan to kick on? Actually it's only 230* +/-. With the airdam and a 180* thermostat, about the only time the fans on my thirdgens ever kicked in, was after relatively hard driving, in hot weather, and then suddenly being stopped, like in a drive-thru or bumper to bumper traffic jam on the interstate in a busy city.
Re: No ground for cooling fan
The cooling fan was working properly, then inop. From what I understand the computer needs forward speed less than 40 mph and temperature signal to turn fan on. I could wire in manual switch, but want to keep it clean. Any more thoughts????? Thanks for responding!
