Default 1988 Corvette

On my 1988 Vette the small fan out in front what temperature will it get to before it kicks on? not sure if that fan works.

Thanks Dan

Just ground the connector to the Grn wire going to the Aux Fan switch (below #1 & #3 spark plugs) and the fan should come on if the ign is on.

Or you could ground the Grn wire at the Booster Fan relay, mounted on the upper LH side of the radiator shroud.

Thats what it is for 86, but I believe for 88 the temps were dropped.

Certainly not below the main fan setting though.

You could jumper 12 volt to it as well?
