The theory of operation should be the same. You just need to find which is the ground wire that goes to the fan relay and add another ground wire with a switch going to the same spot on the relay socket. I believe the '06 has just one fan, so you wouldn't need the 3-way switch in the how-to. Just a simple on/off.


What did the manual say to do to test the fan?

 

Warm up engine.

1.) Disconnect connector from fan motor switch
2.) Ground connector to body with jumper wire.
3.) Turn Ignition switch on, check fan motor.

it didn't start...

 

Maybe I'm missing something. When you unplug the connector there's nothing at all going to the fan. When you ground it then there's only the ground side going to it. It still needs 12V power to run.

 

Do you think the jumper wire is a separate power source? That's really all it says in the .pdf manual I have for the F3 lol.

Idk, I'm taking in to get new tires and all the fluids changed out probably next month...but I'm hoping I don't have to ask the mechanics to take a look at it.

 

The way you described it the jumper wire is just a ground wire. You still need to supply +12V power from somewhere to the fan to test it.

 

Thanks RoadiJeff, Found the relay on the '06 It is actually found behind the front left faring next to the fuse box.. I will post pictures here in a few.. i will also add to your write up for the 1000RR

Pictures as promised.



The box in the middle to the left of the fuse box is the one you need to splice into.


Put the switch wire into the blue/grey wire seen below (my wire going in is green)


Finally the finished product


Thanks again to all the forums and people that helped with this =)

 

Has anyone done this recently? I tried searching for the temp switch part numbers that were posted in the original post and they seem to be discontinued and/or nobody stocks them anymore?

Is there another part number/switch that will fit and will come on at a lower temp?

Thanks

 

Advance Auto Parts no longer lists the part. Autozone still shows the part on their website with the same part # SW524 that was in the original post. If you don't have a local Autozone store you can order from them online or check other parts stores for a fan switch or fan sensor for a 1983 Nissan Pulsar 1.6L engine. Note that some switches may not have the wire pigtails so you can't splice them. Be sure to get a switch like the one pictured on the link below that has the 2 wires and a connector.

Here's a link to the part on Autozone's website.....
Clicky

 

thanks for the information and the help.

 

Just a heads up...this part is cheaper on ebay..and more readily available for people who want it Internationally.
I just searched "1983 pulsar fan switch".
