Like the title says, looking for someone other than a dealer that can turn on Pin 42 for my electric fans...Anybody know of a performance shop or anything that can do this?

Between 5 and 6 hours from where I'm at. But my wife has a sister down that way, so I may just wind up taking a trip down there and going to Nelson's. Not sure what he would charge...

Call him and tell him what you are after. I will be in Waco Thursday if you want me to bring a PCM your way......save some shipping cost.

Happy to say I have to go to Austin and San Antonio tomorrow for work, so I'll be getting Pin 42 turned on while I'm there. Yee-Haw!

Are you getting a tune or just a pin turn on??????

what does getting pin 42 turned on mean? What does that do for you? Supply voltage for some reason??

The 42 pin can be set to 12 volts when the engine temp sensor behind the water pump hits a designated temp. The other voltage comes from the A/C compressor on. Thus you get 1 fan on low with temp signal only, 2 fans on low when the A/C is on and both fans on high when the temp and A/C signals are both on. That is how the Nelson Harness is set to work.

Unfortunately, just getting the pin turned on. But that's good enough for me (for now). Every dealer I called either didn't have a clue what I was talking about or was giving me outrageous prices and saying they would have to "keep it for at least a day". Riiiiiight...
So anyway, I'm pretty happy just to be getting that part done with. Then this weekend, I can install the fans.
Someday though...the tune....

You can justify the tune in the money you will save if you get a MPG tune......

South of SA about 10 miles. Well worth the drive.
