It's controlled by the ECM. You may install the Jet switch in the cylinder head and connect the wire from the switch to the fan relay coil, negative side - the side that goes to the ECM - it's probably a green / white wire.

What? Just put it in the cylinder head where? What do I do if I want to run a electrical switch to turn the fan on and off manually? I bought all the electrical supplies to do this, and haven't put them in yet. I thought I knew what I was doing until I saw this..... Can you help me please? I hate seeing my Iroc get up close to 240*

There is a 1/2" NPT hole in the passenger side cyl head between cyl 6 & 8 - should have a plug in it. Pull the plug & use it for the fan switch. Same hole is on the driver's side head - between cyl 1 & 3 - has the temp gauge sender in it.
