Rigging up a manual radiator fan switch

[theworkneverstops]

Hello all, I want to rig up a manual radiator fan switch inside my cabin because my fans dont come on by themselves. Ive done the temp sensor, radiator cap, and new relays. also tested the connections with a voltometer and am getting nowhere. So I was wondering if anybody knew the best way to rig up a manual switch for the radiator fan. :help: thanks!

concerning trying to fix your fans: did you try jumping them?

does your car have the parts from the fan recall installed. my 95 recieved something called a thermal fuse that was an assembley plugged in between the fan and the original fan power connector. Also the fans are grounded to the body IIRC the grounds are under the battery and on the passenger side between the radiator resivor and the headlight. If you have power to the fan relay there are only 4 connections to the fan relay. Fan power in and out and the coil (switching) power in and out. Do you have wiring diagrams? PM me for help if you need more.

First thing, the word "rigging" should never be used when working on electrical. If you google manual electric fans you will find what you need
