Fan Question

[Vettefan87]

Is there anyway while the car is off to have the fan running, to cool things down? I know you can put it into diagnostic mode and the fan will run, but is there any other way? I thought if I turned the key to ON or something and turned the AC on that the main fan would come on, and it didn't.

You can buy a manual fan switch and wire it too run both or a single fan on demand. I just wired to run the aux fan. There is a green (I think) wire that runs from the alt. harness to a sensor on the side of the block, simple job

Hmm... I will have to look into that, it would be nice to have the front fan running while under "spirited driving".

Even if the fan is on...don't expect the engine to cool down much faster without coolant flowing throught the radiator/engine.

Oh yeah I realize that. I thought it just might help it control the spike you get when you turn it off, and that coolant sits there in the block. I haven't been driving the car that much since we have had this 100 degree heat.
