Well I'm not positive my fans have ever worked properly. I noticed after driving the car the other day, they were hardly blowing. I unplugged the sensor on the radiator because someone said it would make them blow hard all the time. That didn't work, so I unplugged the plug off the power steering pump and saw it was getting no power. I ran an add a line from the wiper fuse to that plug for power and ground. Now they are on when the car starts up, and stays blowing hard, when I get on the car they blow very loud. Is this bad and will blow the solenoid? Should I just add a 5v relay into the power wire to them to give them less juice? Thanks for the help...

Hey Brad, I don't know the answer to your woes, but you might find out if you PM'd bigaaron. I've been told that he knows a few things about 1J's :biglaugh:

Forgot all about asking him, thanks again! I hate electrical issues, I'd rather disassemble and reassemble a motor than deal with electrical problems....

Same here. If I can't see it, in this case electricity, I can't understand it. I'm a simpleton.....
