    FYI I saw this post the first time but I have no idea what you are talking about so I am not posting anything. I'm not ignoring you. As Kerm would say "peace out".

        The only ways I know to do it is with a manual switch like http://www.slponline.com/view_produc...RTNUMBER=63011

        The other is to reprogram the computer. About 100 for a cable and another 200+ for software.

        I don't know of a way to replace the sensor to fool the computer but since it just measures resistanace, I wonder if you could add a resistor inline to fool it. It might fool it to making it run hotter though. I'm not smart enough to know how it works.

              You can also make a manual fan switch for ~$10 or less in parts.

              Some relatively good instructions here, but the location of the connector in the pics may be a little different on a 1993. You can use wire taps to make the connections instead of soldering if you want.

              Another diagram here. Using LEDs that have resistors built in makes it a little easier.

                I found some 12 V LED's online that have built in resistors but it doesn't mention what the resistance it is, actually of them do. Does it matter?
