The fan won't work. I bought a fan that was not made specifically for a Saturn at Advance auto, but the box didn't have any specific wiring instructions. I ran one of the two wires from the fan to my battery, connected another wire from the battery to the 'hot' connection to a toggle switch I bought, connected another wire from the ground connection back to the other wire on the fan. The result: nothing! Obviously, I'm not a mechanic or an electrician. Any suggestions?
First disconnect ground cable from the battery when adding circuits, arcing and explosion hazard is present. You will have to use a relay 20 amp or better to run that fan. The toggle switch (5 amp) will not last long. Run one wire from fan to a good ground (engine block bolt) and the other wire to the function terminal on the relay. Run a fused wire (20 amp fuse, 12 gauge wire) to the battery terminal on the starter, to avoid a bunch of wires connected to the battery . This wire will connect to the remaining function terminal on the.relay. Use your toggle switch to signal the relay. Run one wire from signal terminal on the relay to chassis bolt (14 Ga.) and run one wire (14Ga.) connected to remaining signal terminal on the relay to one terminal on your toggle switch. The remaining terminal on the toggle switch will have a fused wire (5 amp, 14 Ga.) Connected to the same starter terminal you connected earlier. Make sure toggle is in the off position to avoid surprise startup . Is the plug from the original fan present? If so try connecting the new fan there to retain temp control of fan and save you from a lot of wiring. The original plug should be a simple 2 wire crimp or plug connection, provided fan control (relay) for the original fan is working properly. Print this post down for reference while under the hood. Don't blow a head gasket by running engine hot, be careful. Also fan should be on continuous when air conditioning is on .
-Why you want to hook up a switch to the fan...? You want to turn it on when you want?
-No Problem. Here some basic installation.
-Connect the hot wire to the positive (+) battery terminal.
-Connect both left over wire to the switch. Then connect 1 wire from the other side of the switch to ground. you should be good to cool down.

SOURCE: radiator cooling fan 30 amp. fuse keep blowing
The fan may run with jumper wires but if it''s blowing the 30 Amp Maxifuse it's needs a new or used fan motor.It's pulling too many amps.I have almost never seen a fan relay concern.Only other thing you may check is the wiring down near the fan shoud I have seen the 2 wires get loose from the conduit & melt onto exhaust manifold.Hope tHis Helps
SOURCE: stereo wiring 98 saturn
That stereo is now most likely dead. speaker wires are mostly green/black stripe, white/b s, grey/b s and violet/b s. ground is black and power are red and yellow.
Put it back in the factory configuration with a new sending unit,and make sure it is the exact part you need. See if that works. don-ohio
