dude tyvm i no longer use the stock thermal fan so i guess i no longer have to have it connected if any one need a stock tII fan i have 2 both of them work.

the stock fan doesnt need a switch, its not electric. it works on a coil of wire growing and shrinking to decide how tight it is on the shaft to determine at what ratio it spins to the rpm of the e-shaft pulley.

uhm but it is an rx7 forum and which is also on the internet are on the internet so it must be true if you read it and everyone is always right.

jwteknix 12-25-2006 09:35 AM

its for the second gen duh but anyway i went through the haynes manual and found out there is (well used to be) a small efan in front of the radiator witch uses the switch to turn it on. i think its a seconday cooling fan and also for the ac condensor fan but yeah i dont need the connection for it b/c i removed the a/c system and put a koyo rad with the fiero e fan witch is plenty of cooling. any way thanx for your guys help merry xmas
