Get yourself an adjustable thermostat, its really straight forward...I just used zip ties to hold it on my radiator too hasn't failed me yet

what wires are you talking about black is ground and red is the power on the fan, if you buy an adjustable thermo it will have detailed wiring directions...

There is a connnector by the battery that has ignition hot available.
Use a test light to figure out which wire.
You still need a relay so the fan current doesn't flow through the ignition switch.
I guarantee you the ignition switch cannot handle it without the relay.

why not just wire the sucker right off a battery cable up to the temp sensor for turning it on, and then back to the battery, with a fuse in there?

Wire a power wire to a switch, ground it, and run another wire to the fan itself.

Turn the fan on and off when you want to *shrug*

Do a search in this forum for a similar topic. A wiring diagram was posted that should indicate how to wire it up. I apologize in advance if I'm wrong, but I THINK that NZConvertible posted the diag.

Also, plan on hooking a lead up from your AC if you still have it installed. You're going to want that fan running when your AC is on.

Here's the thread:

I knew it had the word diode in it (read and you'll understand, so that made it easy to find.
