Re: electric fan

The relay is next to your master cylinder, right next to the fuel pump relay on the bulk head.

Re: electric fan

Parts on a car are referred to right or left as you are sitting in the car. The relay is on your left side.

Re: electric fan

Re: electric fan

As you can see in the schematic pretty simple. When the green/wht wire is grounded via the cylinder head temp sensor power from the starter junction goes through the relay to the fan. The Splice shown on the brown wire goes to the alternator. Turn the key to run and check to see if you have power on the brown wire. Ground the green and white wire see if the fan goes on. if not move on to see if you have power at the relay on the red wire. Followed bye grounding the green/white wire to see if power comes out the red/blk wire of the relay.

Re: electric fan

The left head between cyl 1,3 is for the gauge. The cts for the ecm is in the intake and the fan switch is in the rh head between cyl 6,8.

Re: electric fan

The block drain is 1/4 npt the coolant switch will not thread in without a adapter I believe it is 3/8 npt. It could even be 1/2 npt I cant recall.
