420A 96 RS cooling issues

[Anubis_4_99]

ok so the new 96 is not co-operating.

found out today my rad fans are not kicking on like they should be. i dug into it, and discovered the A/C fan is all but seized up, and the fuse in the engine bay fuse box was blown.

also noticed that the temp sensor on the T-stat housing was un-plugged and jumped, i am assuming that the previous owner knew about this but for whatever reason didn't tell me.

so until i can afford a new fan, sensor and whatever else i may need, i need some info on how to wire up the main fan either on a switch or through a relay to come on like when i turn my headlights on or something.

i've done this on other vehicles before as temporary fixes but never dealt with a multiple speed fan, so any info you guys have is awesome.

i remember reading somewhere that m/t and a/t are different in some ways, so mine is m/t for what it is worth

i have been reading but havent found exactly what im looking for yet, i will continue searching until i find it or someone here can help

Good job ! I always get a rush of feeling awesome when I can't get help doing something and bang my head against it till I figure it out myself.
