Hi..
Does anyone know where the fan relay is located for a 1988 Subaru GL-10?
Fan is good but is not coming on. Engine overheats..
Thank you in advance..Jos

If memory serves, the a.c. control module is what turns the fan on and
off. One of the inputs to the a.c. module is the temperature switch
which is located on the lower right side of the radiator. That switch
can fail, but more often than not, the terminals that plug into that
switch get corroded. The correction will most likely be to clean those
terminals, or repair the wires at those terminals, or replace the
temperature switch.

If it's anything like my 92 Loyale was (been stolen 3 years ago), the
fan is connected to a bimetal switch screwed in the right side of the
radiator (passenger side). Maybe this switch or its connection are
defective.
