Hi gmholdman.

The engine cooling fan is switched by the engine ECU. The only thing you need a BCM for is to work the immobiliser. Considering that you already have it running, I assume youve had the VATS (immobiliser) removed from the mem-cal, so you w

The High/Low switching is done by the BCM.

The ECU simply tells it on/off and the BCM directs that signal, so Id rewire it to a simple on/off out of the ECU, and simply run the low speed windings off it, with the high speed hooked up to a dash switch t

Hi Guys.

Yes, the high speed was on for high temp & a/cond together only.

Just use the engine ECU to switch the cooling fan.

There's a purple wire (with a white stripe) that comes out of the 10 pin plug near the computer.
That will hook up to most electronic speedos.

There is a tacho signal wire in the engine harness connector too.
If you kept the original loom, there's
