well i installed a fan switch following the directions on this the AFM website.
http://www.allfordmustangs.com/Detailed/499.shtml
well, it works and everything but i came across a small problem. i was doin this in the dark, with only the light of my car and with no engine lighting. so now when i start my car, it just bogs and eventually dies. im thinkin that it might just be the negative battery terminal not properly put back on. i tried shoving it on there by hand and could only get it so far down. so..any suggestions? everything else was untouched..

edit: when the car is in the process of dying, the battery light will flash here n there..does that pretty much answer my question?

why was the neg battery terminal removed? if it was done so for this task, yeah, clean it and connect it decently (and charge your battery back up). or was this an on-going problem?

good luck.

DOOOOOOH!


We've all had those things happen that we don't want anyone else to know about

That was pretty funny though, I don't care who you are!
