Hi all-
I have a 1989 GT with a Black Magic electric cooling fan. It's wired in
such a way that it still runs after the ignition has been turned off. This
has turned out to be a problem since it's running the battery down to
nothing on warm days, when I leave it parked.
Anyway, I'd like to rewired the fan so that it turns off when the ignition
is turned off, however, I don't have a wiring diagram for my car.
So, for those of you who've installed a Black Magic fan, where did you
connect the blue wire that comes from the fan?
Or, does anyone know where I can get my hands on an '89 Mustang GT wiring
diagram?
Thanks in advance!

It should have a thermostat on it, mine does. If it so and you
can't adjust it or it;s bad you can replace it.

It very well may be bad, but I'd still like to rewire the fan so that it
doesn't run at all with the ignition off.
Thanks

Sounds more like the OP needs a higher temp switch, not an override.
