unplug the sensor on the thermostat housing and stick a paperclip in it.

you really should fix your issue though. this is more of a "might get you home" kinda trick

Re: How to jump fan wire

it's a two prong connector. you just unplug it from the sensor and stick the paperclip in the connector that is attached to the wiring.

you're going to seriously reduce the life of your fan having it run constantly. say if it were to last 6 years, you might reduce that to a year or less.

Re: How to jump fan wire

Sooooo it loses coolant and runs hot? Is that why you want the fan to run all the time?

Find and fix the real problem instead of hacking the fan to hide the problem.

You will dramatically shorten the service life of that fan motor if it runs all the time.
