is there a way to test the cooling fan to see if it works, rather than like totally cutting the wires to it and putting power to it. i havent seen or heard it turn on since i rebuilt the motor.

 

You can find the connector, and just use a paper clip and jump the 2 wires together... With the key on ofcourse...

 

the clip is on distributer side kinda under it to the left

 

thanx

 

the cooling fan switch is on the back of the block right next to the oil filter - 2 wire connector with big round black rubber boot - pull boot off of sensor and touch the 2 wires together with key on - fan should come on - when putting the wires back on the sensor, it doesn't matter which one is on which post - it is just a switch - if fan comes on, the switch is probably bad - if fan still doesn't come in, you need to check the fan relay which is on the passenger side fender well, right behind the headlight
