When my car is stationary but running for about 5 min. the heat gauge peaks and I notice that my radiator fan doesnt come on. once I get moving the guage goes back down is there any way of knowing whether this is due to the thermalswitch or of the fan? it seems to have stop working after I pulled out my A/C do I need to bypass something after taking out the compressor for my radiator fan to run?

yeah take the two wires to the fan and put one on ground an the other to an accessory or battery and if the fan does not come on its the fan motor or wiring and if it works its the thermo switch.

no you would unplug the harness and make a jump (just another wire that would connect the two) thats all that you need to do.

I think something a little easier would be to make sure that you have enough Radiator fluid in the system!

well kiddies I was going to wire it up like you guys said but when I look at it THE FUCKER ISNT EVEN PLUGED IN!!!! now I have 2 plugs thatll fit in it one came off my A/C fan and it is green the other is a plug that I found just dangling there in my fender but it is white although my best guess is the white one it doesnt seem right that a white plug would go with the green fan plug. which one do I use?!?!?!
