As many of you, I've experienced an overheating issue with my 89 Coupe. Over the winter I removed the radiator, cleaned 10lbs of leaves and junk from the space between that and the AC Condenser. Also replaced the thermostat with a 185 degree unit and now want/need to install my upgraded cooling fan control relay.
the problem: I don't know where, in this rats-nest of an engine compartment, the original cooling fan relay is located.

Anyone got a picture/diagram of this that I could see? I've searched my service manual and the wiring diagram there really isn't much help in locating the actual relay in the engine box.

Thanks!

LH inner fender forward of the battery area. Aux fan relay if you want to know is on the L/H side of the fan shroud.

I asked the same question for my 89 about 5 years ago. Here is the picture I had from then

If I remember correctly since I have a 6 speed I have 2 relays. I believe automatics only have 1 relay there. Since I changed that relay again about 3 weeks ago it is the relay closest to the brake fluid containers.

Thank you gentlemen - exactly what I was looking-for

A good thing to do with these cars is buy the cooling fan switch that puts the fan or fans on early.

It just screws into the head between spark plugs 1 and 3 where now is a square headed plug, run 1 wire over to the fan relay and you are done with waiting for the computer to switch the fans on.

It can also be found at a few other outlets, you don't need to buy the kit I used a simple butt end wire connector as the plug instead of spending 40 more bucks for the one pictured on other sites.

If you want to run 2 fans just double the wires out of the plug to switch on 2 relays.
