I know I know! I had about 36 hours before I had to leave for college to get the stinkin radiator and fan fully opperational. I bought a $25 relay/185* switch combo, but it was a POS 25A relay and shoddy wiring. I opted to use the 40A relay I pulled from the Taurus I pilfered the fan from and hard wired it. I pretty much did this the night before I left. I couldnt think straight and wasnt sure what wires had switched 12V so I just ran it from the battery and put the toggle between the relay and a ground under the console. When I have time to go home, or make friends with someone with a garage, Ill find a switched 12V source and run the ground straight to the body. Ive driven the car a few times since the 220* mishap and its not bubbling coolant or hard to start, so I think I got lucky!
