I think that the fan switch is busted. If it is on the back of the passenger head then the wire came out of it. I don't know if I can use it now, can I? My question was is there a way to cut the fan on and for it to stay on when the car turns on. I know that I can run a switch. I want the fan to come on when the car is on and stay on and cut off when It is off. Is there a way to do this. I basically have the rest of today and part of tommorrow to fix it. My fan started going out on the way home. I got home by driving up hills and cutting the motor and coasting downhill and see how far I would get. Fun day.

 

All you need to do is find the fan relay. There will be a green wire with a white stripe coming out of it. Ground this wire, and the fan will come on when the car comes on.





Test it first with a jumper wire.

 

Where exactly is the sending unit. Ground it by just attching it to the body closeby?

 

The fan switch merely grounds that wire.....


Just jumper it anywhere on the body.

 

The relay that you are talking about is the same one that is one the passenger head?

 

Found the wire. It looked black from being covered in soot. Now I wonder how cool will the motor run and will this wear out the fan?

 

I've done this to other GM cars in the past and the fan usually out-lasted the engine.

 

Thanks. I don't have any worries then besides warm-up taking forever now.
