3.1L V6 cooling fan switch

Anyone know where to find a cooling fan switch for a 3.1L? Or does anyone know what I'd need to make my own?

No fan switch it is ECM controlled. Check out the tech articles for how to setup an adjustable switch.

If the A/C pressure switch was removed it will cause the fan to always run. If so, ground the pressure switch wire that goes to the ECM. Or wire it to a cabin switch to force the fan on when desired.

Bad ECM? Non-stock chip?

I've had it on two different ecms(auto and manual), did same with both.

Both ecm's are completely stock.
