Default 1997 SSe Rad Cooling fan

Would like to know if it is possible to lock my radiator cooling fan on low or high speed without affecting the computer***I live in Florida and would like to have it running constant in the summer months*******

Yes, many of us have installed switches for our high speed fan override, or you can have INTENSE program your PCM for it to come on earlier.

If you had a 93 or 95, I could tell you for sure. The trick is to ground the high speed cooling fan relay through a switch. But we'll need someone with an FSM to tell you wich relay and which wire.

You supply ANOTHER path to ground and leave the OEM path through the PCM intact.

Here'* an oldie but goodie from our dark past:

Just gotta determine which relay and wire for the 97.

That solution is a bit overkill for the application. His intent was a little bit different than what most people would want or be willing to tackle.

Keep it simpler.
