Fan Switch pics?
What does the fan switch look like? My fans don't work and I want to replace the temperature switch thing but can't find it. I've done a searcha and learned that its between #6 and #8 cyl., but I can't find it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

this happind to me to and im still working on it. fans don't work-that happind just test them you can take the dark green w/ white strip wire and jumper it to a ground. That should turn the fans on.
"i tryed to help you same thing happind to me and still trying to fix it"

If you're aware of where the Temp gauge sensor is *between 1 & 3), the Fan Switch is in the same spot (except since it's the other side of the motor, it's 6 & 8) as if it were a gauge sensor, just the opposite side. (not too sure that makes sence but, it's late)
One way to test (w/o hunting) if the primary fan (ECM controlled, TPI, dual fans) relay is working is to do a code check (this kicks the main gan on), or turn on your A/C, car running or not for both, the fan should kick on. (guess that was 2 ways huh ?).
The fan switch (TPI) in the pass side head kicks on (grounds really) at a chilly 238° (about 20° after the primary), replacing it wouldn't get you much gain for cooling problems.
Thw subject of cooling fans needs to be a sticky...
