Little tab on the radiator...

What the hell plugs into it? I can't seem to find the wire anywhere, which makes me think it got burned off somewhere along the years.

Re: Little tab on the radiator...

Not the tranny lines. I know there's a tranny line on the top and one at the bottom. There is this little tab, as if some switch or something would plug into it. Manual fan switch maybe? I don't know...

Re: Little tab on the radiator...

Maybe its an aftermarket rad made to adapt to other applications.....

I was thinking the same, some systems use a temp sensor in the radiator for fan op.

Re: Little tab on the radiator...

WrightZ28, thats what i'm thinking goes to it, but i'm not sure. It's a decent rad too. Just found a couple of burnt up wires under the passenger headers, wires that were never hooked up i when i purchased the car. Boy, this is some fun stuff!!!

Re: Little tab on the radiator...

Waht I'd do with it is make it an independant fan switch anyways. I hate how hot these' things run.

Burnt wire on the pass side? Sure that's not your stock fan switch between 6 & 8.

Re: Little tab on the radiator...

I know what you mean, it pisses me off, but what can you do? Well, i think i'll just do what wrightz28 said, seems logical. These damn cars run really hot!
