lrgvanman Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I don't know if the radiator is exactly the same as my '84s but the sensor switch is usually on the passenger side's tank near the bottom and just above the drain. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbilt Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) The sensor there on my car has 2 Prongs in an L shape and there is already a connector on that sensor the plug for my electric fan has 2 prongs inline Edited August 4, 2016 by pbilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I would just visit a local wrecking yard with a few Subarus and see with my own eyes how whatever is plugged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdweninger Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Here is a similar pic. The wiring comes from your harness, to your fan, then to thermosensor which completes the ground when coolant temp reaches like 190. I believe the wires are blue and yellow. Check first, but blue was 12v and yellow was ground on mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsyme Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have two of these exact cars in the form of a 1991 Loyale wagon and an 1989 GL wagon both with the non-turbo H4 EA82 engine. I've most recently been under my 89 GL and have removed both fans in the last week replacing the timing belts. There two fans, one electrical and one mechanical. My 91 is down in the parking lot and I can easily get a picture. I can tell you from the 89 GL there are two plugs right beside each other: a tan/light brown one, and a blue one. Starting at the fan, the wire moves down, and then stretches to the left (passenger side) and then back up alongside the radiator. They were old and brittle and I didn't spend much time fiddling with them. I believe it was the blue one for the fan. Test it by turning on the air conditioner, and use your Power probe or voltage tester / test light to check for voltage there. the fan always comes on with the AC switch. The brown/tan on was for ??something else - I didn't look. Somebody check me on the colors please. I'm still going through the 89 GL and it's not clean yet. Another option is that's been ripped out of your harness by an unknown party, road debris, previous customization, etc.. So forget the hardness, and set up a fuse, relay and interior switch and turn it on manually just like you would for say a light bar or spots. I can hear the frustration in your voice. But since 'luck' doesn't exist, I'm not sure how to measure it good or bad. I didn't see 'please' anywhere in there. This is a free site and your entitlement attitude is less appealing to me. In the balance of givers and takers, How many pictures have you uploaded? Did you know that the admins here only allow for a small number of photo to be uploaded by the "free" customers (of which I am one, but I'm strongly considering upping my participation)? Did you know it actually COSTS money to upload photos over that small initial threshold? ...So to use a line from Seinfeld the 'soup nazi'. "No PIC for you! Back of line!"

pbilt Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Thank you for the input the harness was cut rewired it and sorry to the soup nazi guy it is very irritating when you are this far in on an engine you are not familiar with and one connection is the only thing holding you back thank you to all the people that helped Edited August 4, 2016 by pbilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
