Re: cooling fans not coming on

Sorry but the delayed reply. I guess no one wants to touch this this one. If your A/C was operational you wouldn't have to worry about it. All you need to do is install a switch, mount it under the dash and tie the wiring into the main engine compartment fuse box to the cooling fan relays. You can get a multiple contact switch. That way work the cooling fans in low or high positions. Also companies like ZZP have a kit available which will work with the 3100 engine.

I would not mess with the ECT sensor or wiring to it since it is used for the temperature gauge at the IP cluster and a reference for the PCM module to turn on the fans at the right engine operating temperature.
