did you run it thru a relay and use the temp sensor to complete the ground loop...also when I was trying to figure out that a/c issue in the spring it seems the fan controller also controls the a/c cluth ...Brian

That...I do not know. Maggie's never had working a.c. on it. For the fan, I just ran off the starter sol. to a toggle switch mounted below the stereo. I'm running a 3-row radiator (that came from my 86) in it - so I almost never have to use the fan.

I suppose if you wanted an easy way out, you could just go to your local auto parts store and get an electric fan control setup.

The ones I've seen had a little probe that is placed in the fins of the radiator. Now, on my 86 - I was using a flex-a-lite controller which uses a surface temp pick-up and it kinda crushed some of the fins upon installation. I didn't llike that one bit.
