Thank you for your help.
I guess what I am trying to do is confirm that the wiring is the same. I really think the blue wire is shorted. But does that explain why grounding the cts wire does not start the fan. Just thinking out loud. I will try your suggestions.

About the multimeter. You say infinity is what I would see with the probes not connected anything. When I turn on my meter, actron
there is a 1. That is why I asked how does a multimetet display infinity. I thought it would be OL or an infinity symbol

I plug in the connector amd turn on the car . It heats up to 210 degrees and blows the fuse. So I decide to trace the wires. I am in the garage an follow the wires to the firewall. No breaks, nothing to indicate that they would be bad. I look at the tool box and see the original relay. I try it and the fan works. Fuse does not blow. So it is woking. Thank you all for your help.

I am setting it to read Ohms. That is why I asked. It did not make sense. I found my fluke. It should work better. And besides I found the old relay and the fan came on. This has been a problem since last summer. So I really don't remember what started it. I am just glad it is over. Thank you

Hello, I am sorry but I do not have the part number. But it was easy to find. I just looked up the CTS and I believe that there were several temperature ranges listed. If you own a 1984 like mine be aware that they like heat. That car is made to run at 138 degrees. Too hot for my liking. I have a 195 thermostat and the 205 switch and the car runs good.

I am just thinking about this thread. Remember the switch that turns the fan on is located in the head on the passenger side of the motor. And I meant to say 238 degrees not 138, sorry.

This low temp. ECT switch is available from Mid America Motorworks, p/n 609-106. I found the low temp switch for my '84 at my local Kragen/O'Reilly.
