Electric cooling fan

my Z28 has had a engine swap..and taken old school..but it has a electric cooling fan..the cooling fan doesnt turn on at any temp..........there is a splice on one of the 2 wires and if you touch that to the battery it comes on.....the question is...what controls the fan? the computer ? a thermal-switch?..basically i want to get it working. and i know i could wire in a switch to do it manually ...but i dont want too

Re: Electric cooling fan

The fan relay is located on the firewall driver side (most of the time)
The ECM does not turn on the fan. There is a temp switch in the engine block on the right side just above the starter. Single green or green with white stripe wire. This is a ground that tells the relay to energize the fan circuit

Re: Electric cooling fan

with alot of looking i figured this out.........the pcm has a coolant sensor in the thermostat housing when that gets hot enough the pcm energises the relay which closes the circuit .. energising the fan..............i have a bad relay was my problem

Re: Electric cooling fan

There's a few of 'em out there, some either go to the block or to the radiator and are adjustable.
