Cooling Fan Switch Install..
I have tried the search feature and nothing turned up to what I was looking for. I have found threads on replacing the fan switch, but most just include hooking up a switch to turn the fans on manually. My question is on my 84, I need to change the cooling fan switch. My question is do I need to use any type of sealant on this switch when putting in the new switch. This is the switch above plugs #6 & #8 I would look at my FSM, but a friend is borrowing it right now. Thanks for any help.

Looks like I am going to need a new harness pigtail for my new switch. Am I wrong in saying that it looks like one end plugs into the switch and the other goes to a ground? Or is it more involved than this? I am just putting on the factory switch and pigtail, no manual control of the fans..

Got the new switch in today. I also had to replace the harness/pigtail too. The worst part was splicing the wires. Fired it up no leaks and the fans came on at 230...
