88 relay wiring


I'm trying to wire in a electric fan from a 88 firebird into a 65 fullsize. I know where the big red wire and the big black wire goes.
What I need is where the tan/white wire goes as well as the green/white goes.One powers the relay the other is the ground switching wire.

 You have the answer in your own question!!!! The tan/wht will be ignition and the the grn/wht is the ground feed from the ECM. (computer) Or in your case, get a thermally actuated switch that screwed into the intake water jacket out of an older GM, before the ECM controlled days, and wire the grn/wht to it.

 They normally "ground" at about 108 degrees C.

Thank you for the clarification. Just didn't want to fry relays with the hit and miss approach.

Part Number (GM) 3040674 used to work like a darn - button type connector single contact - but is actually discontinued from GM - can be purcahed thru - Resale - from GM dealer or check wit the jobber see if they can cross that number

If you want the fan to turn on sooner, there is a switch that grounds around 200 degrees F if I remember right. I used one of them in my 94 Impala SS because the first fan only came on about 225 F and that's too warm by my thinking.

I would love the part # if you can recall , or the application and I can cross it with STANDARD.   I used one with the electric fan and relay for my hotrod , kept the box for the part # ,, I can't find it now?
