[s-cars] What is part # for radiator temp switch? Was:Cooling fan resistor

[Ivan Demkovitch]

Folks,

That connector was bad.

I was doing testing and seems like all systems operating properly
1. AC kicks fan ON
2. Fan will run with secondary pump for a 3-4 minutes
3. Fan would kick on when engine gets hot.

However #3 happened only after I had 3k RPM for a while. More, coolant 
started to come out from a cup at the same time.

I wonder if something wrong since it was first speed only. Coolant would 
completely boil over by the time second speed will be on???!

I thought may be I got wrong temp switch?

Thanks
