Coolant temp problems
Kinda a long story but i have a 1985 corvette and i was having problems with my rad fan not wanting to turn on i assumed the relay was probably bad and ordered a new one and though while i was at it i might as well change the fan temp switch out for a 190° on instead of stock 215° or whatever stock is. There were no instructions for how to wire the new temp switch and i tried wiring it to a different relay but with no wire diagram on how to do it it failed. So i attached the factory blue cable to it because at worse im back to where i started with having no fan running. When running the interior temp guage will say the car is either at 300 or low with no inbetween. Does anyone have a suggetion on what i should do. Should i just go back to factory everything, or does anyone have a good wire diagram or photos of how they wired it up. Or should it just work with the factory wire and there is something else wrong

To make a little more sense, currently my rad fan didnt work and idk y i put a new relay on in case that was the problem but have no way of knowing until it reaches temp. I would like to lower the fan turn on temp to 190° on instead of the factory temp which is why i got a new cooling fan temp switch which could also be the problem but idk how to wire it correctly. And with the new temp switch on i no longer have an accurate temp guage.
