i know the lines dont line up rite this isnt a picure program
if you want to run a switch put it in the jumper wire
if youre complaint is that the fan doesnt work try replacing the relay
dont wire it up off any switch that isnt rated for 30 amps
and dont try jumping the sender youre computer wont like it

if the thermostatic switch in the rad is at fault then all you need to do is join the two wires together that go to the switch.Otherwise if there is no current going to the switch you need to supply power to the fan by taking a live feed from an ignition controlled fuse directly to a switch inside the car--buy a flick switch---and then continue the feed to the wire going to the fan on the thermostatic switch in the rad.This way you can control the fan as you want

Take a power feed from the battery via a fuse and switch, directly on to the fan.Probably easier to replace the fan switch on the engine though?

this might just be me but can i ask that people supply a bit more info such as E reg ....... at least then we can think 1987 as cars can change so much from one mark to the next. thank you to all who read this. to specify the fuel type IE petrol diesel veg oil etc would be a good help to after all the more we have to hand the better the response we can give, not bothered to ask and help us why should we be bothered to help you?
please note this is not aimed at anyone in particular.

Ha ha, I liked Mud's answer (primus fan?), I had to do a similar dodgy repair job on an old golf with extremely dodgy electrics, it does work, but I'd suggest you use this only as a temporary fix and just go to a garage and get it fixed!

There will be a thermostatic switch near the radiator. Bridge it , so that it comes on. But the best thing is to get a new switch.

easy, fit a wire directly to the ingnition live at the fuesbox, the same fuse that runs the radio!

OR, connect it to the sidelight bulb live, and when you put the sidelights on it will switch the fan on too! 2 switches in one!

Check the switch, also check the thermostat if it is malfunctioning.
