no pics , but take the wire that goes into the sensor on the rad , and connect it to the ground wire thats bolted to the top fan mount . butt connect or solder em , and the fan will be on when ever the key is on

it will . the way the system works is when the sensor see's a certain temp it grounds itself . that completes the circuit , turning the fan on . by grounding it , you are completing the circuit , so when ever the key is on it will turn on .

Re: HOW DO I......f4i

there's only one set of wires going to your radiator grid....the plug is for the temp' sensor....there are no "wrong" wires .....the temp sensor closes like a switch only it's temperature operated.....when ur coolant gets too hot, the switch inside completes the circuit and grounds the fan relay etc....

so all you are doing is providing your own path to ground to activate the fan anytime you want

i just stepped the sensor out of the way completely and put my switch in series......it doesn't turn the fan on and i have tried another temp-sensor but no worky....only urn it on when i'm in city traffic and at the spot.

good luck bro.
