Does anybody have a picture of where the connector from the thermo switch in the bottom of the radiator comes from . My fan does not turn on and I cant seem to find where in the harness it would come from . I also noticed that there are 2 fan relays and two ac relays on the GVR4 , Do I have to jump both fan relays to test the fan? Fan does not turn on with the ac button either , But does turn on when jumped to the battery . Car was running on AEM EMS , not sure if they had it wired differently , but it turn on .. Car is know on ECM LINK . Thanks , Any info will be helpful

How do you bypass the thermo resistor, by cutting the wires that feed too both ends and connecting them? I was looking at wiring schematics yesterday, my eyes still hurt plus I'm feeling a little lazy.

That's what I did. Works great. But I would test it first by using a jumper to bypass the resistor. Just connect a wire from one side to the other to see if that's the problem or not.

By the resistor do you mean the sensor on the bottom of the radiator ? If so I cannot do as you stated . All I have is the sensor on the rad . No wires to jump . Cant find them anywhere .

The harness comes down the passenger side of the radiator. The plug is white (when new /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif in color.

All good info thanks ! Still need some more though . Here is a pic of my setup . You can see the plug for the fan has 6 wires I think and only two that comes out that go to the fan ( slim fan ) The only thing I can think of is that on a stock plug splits off into two different harnesses and thats why all the extra wires are not in use . What I need to know is the color of the wires that go to the thermo switch . Thanks
