How to hard wire a fan

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to hard wire a fan on a 91 RS. I just need this as a quick fix.


Thanks

Not raggin on ya or anything but, if you did a search or just made an efort to scroll down the page, fans have got to be the most popular topic in this forum......

Here's 1 post from lower down the page

A link from within that page....

Using the search feature would probably result in better than 250+ more topics about fan wiring with at least one helping you out.

My apologies if I come off as rude... do a seach just to humor yourself tho & you'll catch what I mean...

Here's a really basic diagram, you can use a mini toggle switch to apply the ground instead of the ECM if you'd like.

Find the wire coming out of the thermo-switch on the engine. That is a ground wire that activates the fan when the switch closes. Run a wire from the wire to a switch in the dash and ground the switch to the body. Now when you turn on the switch the fan will come on. It will also operate normally with the switch in the off position. Bingo....you now control a fan. Good Luck!!
